Would initially like to cover 14 - 7 and 3.5 MHz with a coax fed
horizontal wire dipole of approx 66', which if carefully cut would
theoretically give full - 1/2 and 1/4 wave respectively for these bands.
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).
