I recently put up a 135 ft dipole with open wire (ladder line) feed.

It worls fine on all bands except for 40 mters. I'm only using around
35 feet of open wire line and the result is that the antenna presents
a very high impedance on 40 meters. I'm losing much of the power in
my tuner.

I need to lengthen the feed line but what to do with the excess
length?

Can I simply tie it up into a bundle, suspending it in air?
Wind it spirally around the tree that acts as a center support?
Any other suggestions?

tnx,

Doug
