[Elecraft] Antenna suggestions, resent

[Don Wilhelm]

Vic,

If that were my situation, I would put up 2 inverted vees - at right 
angles to each other.  Each fed with ladderline.

A pole as high as you can manage right in the middle, and a pole in the 
each corner of the larger building.
Arranged that way, you have room for 2 44 foot doublets (even if you 
have to fold the ends down a bit).
The advantage of the 44 foot length is that it can be used for 40 
through 10 meters with the only lobes broadside to the radiator.

To operate on 80 meters, lay 4 or more wires (more is better) on the 
roof and use them as a counterpoise and tie the feeders together to 
produce a top loaded vertical - it may even work on 160.

73,
Don W3FPR
