Hello Butch, When you get your tower up, I'd suggest that you put either the
SteppIr DB36 or DB42 with the 80 meter rotating dipole kit on it.  Your SWR
will be flat across the entire band, from 3500 to 4000 as the SteppIr
continually re-tunes the antenna as you tune around the band.  There is
nothing like it
