Hi
     Actually yes, there is a reason I am using ham sticks. I wanted a 
rotatable dipole with a small turning radius. Also, I don't have any trees 
or appropriate poles to hang my 75 meter G5RV on. So, this was the best way 
I could find to get on the air.
     I do appreciate the information on the ballon. As I recall I need a 6 
to 1 ballon to match 300 ohm twin lead to the 50 ohm coax?

God bless,
Mark
God loves you!
