![]() Ed, spread 15 feet at the ends.Nothing critical once your beyond the 15 feet. I have varied the lengths of the legs, where one is longer than the other. For example think of two dipoles one cut for 3.6 and the other cut for 3.8. I have also played with 4 wires spread 2 vertical and 2 horizontal. Fred, again, thanks for these comments. A 75M broadband biconical antenna is apparently just what fits my needs and "tree configuration". Question for you: The QST article does not address whether or not the two dipoles are cut to different frequencies, as you suggested for your personal situation you had. Do you think two exact length dipole lengths are what the QST article author was talking about, or are two different lengths necessary? All I am trying to accomplish is put a a full size 75M dipole between two tall trees (will be about 50' or 60' high dipole) and to have an SWR across the band that does not exceed about 3:1 .
