The antenna has two elements for a flat 40m dipole and two elements
for an "inverted vee" 20m dipole. I have two additional elements for
an "inverted vee" 10m dipole, but those are not yet installed. The
antenna rests on four eight-foot "sturdy stakes" from Home Depot,
which are strapped with hose clamps to existing iron clothesline
poles. The resulting height for the 40m dipole is about thirteen feet
but the feedpoint hangs at about nine feet. I plan on using another
sturdy stake to lift the feedpoint up to the same height as the rest
of the supports.

Nice job -- which department has the "sturdy stakes"?

Thanks for all the hard work and encouragement.

They were in the gardening department. They're used for tomatoes and
other plants. They are about an inch in diameter and made of green
plastic with an iron core.
