[Elecraft] Antennas for Field Day

Check out the top fed inverted L.  It has a nice omni-directional pattern 
that will serve you well and get the benefit of both a horizontal and 
vertical antenna.  You can feed it with ladder line to be multi band or cut 
one for each band.  I use one that is 52 feet on a leg and 60 feet high.  It 
works well on 160-10 meters.  I modeled one for single band use on 40 and it 
looks great.  Our club may try it this year.

Cebik has an article at <A HREF="http://www.cebik.com/gup25.html">http://www.cebik.com/gup25.html</A> and <A HREF="http://www.cebik.com/ltv.html">

Your 30 foot poles would support one for 40 meters if you bend the end a bit. 
 Probably won't hurt it at all.
