I have two 20m dipoles hanging, one with a span line and one

Sal, there would be those who would chide you that such an antenna
obviously wasn't big enough... in the sense that "if it didn't blow down
last season, it wasn't big enough".

LOL

And we wonder why so many housing block have restictive covenants that are
not ham friendly. We might just have bought that on ourselves to some
extent.

I'm in a 1960s neighborhood. If anybody bitches about
antennas (nothing, yet), I will invite their attention to the old-fashioned
utility poles & wires that decorate (?) the streets. A few blocks out and a
few years later, they undergrounded the utilities.
