Beautiful installation Eric. A rotatable dipoles offer an advantage when
they are up high enough (>1/2 wavelength) to provide significant
directivity. 

Unfortunately that is a little difficult for most of us on 80 meters where
the antenna is 130 feet long and needs to be 65 feet up, but some have
actually done it!! 

Perhaps that will be your next project, Hi! 

Have fun!!

Hello List,

Sorry for the OT posting but I want to share my new antenna.  My K3 and this
antenna have been a joy to operate.

Here is the blog on it for anybody who might be interested:
