An MFJ-949E Atu is available. Hi Bert, You seem to have enough room (as long as the length is broadside to the direction you want to transmit). You will encounter Hi-Z at some point. Cut another dipole (half size) to attach to the same drive point and hang its ends a foot below the larger, original one you planned. Remember to choke the feed point and you won't bother the household or neighbors (as much). 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
