Cecil,
That is the exact problem I have with my antenna which comprises of
reflectors only( no directors) that are manipulated in shape to reduce
reactance swings. Expect to have another shot at it sometime this week
It was easier to put up a long boom with 13 elements or a duplicate antenna
where the reflector elements were not manipulated in shape than this present
experimental antenna.
But even a fraction of a dB gain increase becomes an magnet
for a experimentor.
As for your 180 metre form could one not borrow a Tee shaped
crane from a building site and place elements along its boom ?
I'm sure that would be strong enough to rotate in safety.
Regards
Art

Absolutely. Most of the comments I made aren't relevant if the antenna
can be rotated.

Now all that needs to be done is figure out how to
rotate a 3/2WL antenna for 160m. :-)
