I thought it was an old Oldsmobile.

The Rocket 88 is a kissing cousin of the G5RVs, Quick Silver Radio,
www.qsradio.com carries the Rocket 88. The G5RV at the moment is up
about 30 feet running roughly in a SW-NE direction. My plan is to
raise the G5RV up to around 60 feet then run the Rocket at a right
angle. I have a pair of trees that would have the two antennas
crossing at their mid-points. Again I would like to have this antenna
up around 60 or so feet.
Does this help any?
73s,
