>> Hello:
>> 
>> I inherited my father's Heathkit HW-100.  It is a 10 - 80 Meter radio, and I would like to get my license to become an operator.  I would like to put a full wave wire antenna up.  I have a few questions:
>> 
>> 1)      If I plan on using several of the 10 - 80meter bands, what would be the best length for the antenna?
>> 
>> 2)      What type of wire is best?  (Gauge?  Insulated ok?)
>> 
>> 3)      Does the length have to include the drop-down portion that will be vertical going down to my radio?
>> 
>> 4)      Any certain band (10, 20, 40 ,80meter) that you would recommend as the primary?
>> 
>> Thanks.  I am 7400 feet in Monument on 3 acres with some trees on our property, if that info helps.
>> 
>> Thank you in advance for your assistance.
