Intermediate supports. For the 70' I have a support at 35', for the 200'
supports are every 50'.

You can see the supports he

That picture is taken from the end of the 100' antenna, which has since been

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of trying to use the
top of my split rail fence to hold a 80' wire, so I was
curious about your setup. Do you have a buried
coax leading to your shack??

Yes, both runs of coax are buried, leading into Transi-trap lightning
protectors, then up to a two way anrenna switch, then to the Stridsburg
multi-coupler, then to the receivers.
