Tom,

It's 136 feet long, with 49 feet on the short side and 87 feet on the long 
side.

Mine has no center support, just end supports.  Short end is closest to the 
house, about 20 feet away and at a height of 25 ft.  Long end angles up 
towards a tree and it's highest point is  about 42 feet.   The last 20 feet 
of the long end  drops down and away and is tied to a fence.   Moving the 
tree  30 feet or so was not an option.   Next spring I'll plant an acorn  a 
little further out for future antenna support.
This odd configuration  may have some effect on swr, but   don't really 
know, and can't do anything about it.

73, Steve KW3A
