That's been one of my favorite configurations too.  I'm
debating on that out here in the woods where I live now but
then I"m also thinking about two Sturba curtains cut for
14.300, one looking north/south the other east/west.

I've also got three sections of tower I"m going to do
something with.  My vhf/uhf vertical he tried and true J
pole is higher in the big old oak tree than it would be on
the tower with some mast coming from the top.

Another option that's come to my adled brain now and then is
shunt feeding the tower.  HOwever shunt feeding it would
mean burying some conduit for control of the motor and
apparatus.  tHe two vees are sure a thought that keeps
running through my mind though.
