[SixClub] dipole orientation?

Did you use 7 conductor ribbon cable?
I use my 80m dipole with open wire and balanced link coupled tuners on 160
thru 6 meters.
Modeling the antenna with EZNEC software for 6m, shows better pickup off the
ends but I seem to work 6m DX in all directions.
If you are using ladder line and a tuner, I am not sure why you need all
those 7 elements?
