O.K. then........I'm doing it! I figure that tommorrow I will add
65ft MORE to each end. Currently,the "sides" are 70ft. per side.
the thing "OF ISSUE" here IS that this antenna is a "linear-loaded"
dipole of 140ft. total,across the top. Each section IS 210ft of
wire in a "folded" condition. I need to get to that 260ft or so feet
long across the top. I'll let you guys know how this works out.
I bet thaat adding this wire will affect the ladderline length.
Paladin ps-I want this antenna to be BEST on 160m phone

I am replying to the group. I have done some MORE research and I now
believe that the lenth should be near 51.5ft.! NOT the 65feet that I
was going to add. We are to get some warm weather soon. Maybe then I
can put the measurements to the "test"
