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 .
