Well, it's up guys! The apex is about 40' and the ends are 28'.
Comparing it to my other antennas I'm seeing about a 1-1/2 to
2 S unit improvement on 40m and more on the higher bands.

I did a SWR plot before and after changing it and here's the
sticking point: Before, I had a 2:1 range from 6.900-7.280 and
now I've got 7.000-7.300 but the minimum SWR went from
1.10:1 to 1.55:1. My Elecraft KAT2 autotuner handles that very
easily but I'm wondering what would happen if I added 12 feet
to my 50' of 450 ohm ladder line? Would the minimum SWR
get better or just move? Or both? Does it really matter? (I don't
think it matters based on what I've read here).

If it ain't broke Ben, and it's not, do not fix it!!
