[Elecraft] OT Rotatable Dipole Project

[Elecraft K3]

Thanks for the flowers Ron.  The one compromise I ended up making was not getting the aluminum up a full half wave in the air.  Fully half the directionality is down a steep hill, so electrically it meets that criteria. However the other half is back into the hillside so in that direction not so much.  It has still been a very worthwhile pursuit.  This antenna beats my 80m @ .5 wave doublet multiband antenna.

I hope this has been helpful.
