You know, Gary, there is another option which no one mentioned. Add a 30M dipole under the 40M job and use the same
feedline. You will likely have to adjust the length of the 40M wire slightly to return the VSWR to the present value,
but you will then have a good antenna for both bands. See any number of references about actual mechanical
construction.

Thanks for the idea George, I hadn't thought of that one. I knew the
30M into the 40 dipole wasn't the best in the world as I didn't hear
the signals on 30 that I would expect to hear but I didn't know it was
as lossy as pointed out. I'll have to give it a go this spring or
summer.
