This antenna is designed to hopefully work on 20 meters. If I run a
wire of 14 feet 4 1/2 inches up the fishing pole instead of the 6 foot
3 inches, and if I use guy wires of 12 foot 2 1/4 inches, leaving the
radial lengths unchanged: will I get a vertical that I can work on
both 30 and 20 meters?

Thanks in advance,

Hi ES, How are you going to run the 14' wire up a 9' fishing pole?
I think you would need both the 6' wire and the 14' wire to get dual
band operation. Kind of like a fan dipole for 2 bands.
I think it would be a lot easier to just put up a dual band diople,
and if you could get it up 30' or so it would give a good toa for dx.
But, since you have already dug the hole, I am sure you will stick with
the ground plane.
