[K3PZN-List] 40m Wire

[Kyle Thornton]

Hi all,
With the help of Mike and Curt I now have a 40m dipole up at about 15ft stretched across the yard from a tree to a tripod. Each leg is 33ft long. It's positioned currently at about NW to SE because my yard isn't wide enough to put it up east west and still be able to guy the tripod with out going into the neighbors yard. I'm going to try this configuration out tonight when the band gets going and then will adjust from there. It has an SWR of 3:1 and I was able to get it tuned to 1-1.5:1. I'm happy with the way it's set up. Takes about 5-10 minutes total to completely set up and take down.
