I made two 4 foot high saw-horses, put planks across them, and an 8 foot 
wooden stepladder on top. (metal will detune it)  I can just reach the top 
adjustment.  I have one radial each for 160 and 80M, and a composite 
two-part counterpoise made of 450 Ohm ladderline for 40, 20, 15, and 10M. 
(See CQ, July 1998, pages 20, 21, 24.)  Also two wires for 12M.  30M seems 
ok without additional wires, but probably could be better.  It works fb.
