Yodar, where are you shopping? Go to Lowes or Home Depot and get #14
stranded wire, plexiglas for insulators, and screws, nuts and bolts to
put it together. Get some 450 ohm ladder line (Wireman, w7fg I think),
or make your own from wire and PVC from Lowes. To put the whole thing
together should be 30 minutes or less, I do it every year at field day.
Make the dipole as long and high (within reason) as you have room for,
and the 450 ohm line long enough to get from the antenna feedpoint to
your tuner. There you have what you have been shopping for.
Radioworks among other folks have pre-put together antennas, but
where is the fun in that?

Thank you for the clues. The 66' length and 10-40 M was very attractive.
This is for SWL only ! (apartment attached)

We HAVE an Ham Radio Supply branch store in O'do from whom i bought a
Grundig R350 a while back. their antennas were overkill for my
application and TOOOO BIG!


Had been using a vertical slinky but it really poopsout above 40M
