Fred,

Here is a source  for wire antennas including dipoles full size,  shortened,
and fan type.

http://www.freewebs.com/hypower



The site has a lot of info that may help in  your  choices.  Barry is also
good at answering  questions via e-mail, but  don't know if he is  around
this week.

I use one of his short dipoles 124 feet for 160, 75, and 40.   I added a
second  dipole for 20 and 10 made a number of years ago by w9inn now sk.
Works  fine for me.

Good luck,
Steve KW3A
