Hi Howard,

Right around 50 feet high.
It's almost straight, with just enough droop to keep it in one piece
when the winds blow. I do work 75 and 80 meters with it, actually much
better than I had expected.

Thanks Mike - sounds good and encouraging. I need to get one of those push
up fiberglass poles -- either the 43' or 31' version -- to support the other
end of one version of a proposed 90' dipole. Maybe I'll do that next spring.
In the meantime I'm going to try a random wire (about 100' long) with the
far end thrown over as high a branch as I can reach... or find someone with
a bow and arrow to do it. For 80 and 40 it'll complement my little MFJ Hi-Q
Loop I use for 10 - 30 meters. The rig's an IC-735 and an AEA Transmatch.
I'm almost ready to assemble the station now that I've moved back to 2-land.
