Butch, it is fed in the middle of a side.
I do use a balun.
A friend of mine built it for me and put it up so I don't know what formula
he used.
On two ends it is up at 50 foot and where it comes off the tower is about 45
foot.
It is fed with ladder line.
It is a full wave on 80 meters.
It is 270 foot of wire in the air.

Do you mean full wave on 80?  What formula do you use, and do you feede 
it at a corner or in the middle of a side?  Do you use a ballon?  Sorry 
I missed all the details.
