Kevin is correct about this antenna.

I ran one at my mom's for about 3 years until a tree branch broke the 80
meter element.

I just re-built it in preparation for installing it on my new 50 foot tower
at my home in Jackson, MS.

It works best on a self-supported tower, or where the guys are insolated
from the tower. The guys at my mom's were not insolated, and de-tuned the
antenna badly on 40 and 160.

I hope to have it operational within the next month or 6 weeks.
