Just re-subscribed to the list after being off for awhile.

I am planning to install put up an AH-4 driven antenna in the next week
or so.  I have 2 options:  

#1 I can connect the AH-4 ground to about 25 ground radials that are on
average 30 feet long each with 2 that are about 70 feet.  The antenna
would be a 115 ft long wire with about 30 feet vertical and the rest
would be diagonal or flat.

#2 Use the AH-4 to feed a 100 foot dipole at 40 feet with about 30 feet
of 450 ohm ladder line.

Any thoughts on what design will work better with the AH-4?

Thanks for the help
