     This is Mike, where can I find information on the power antenna dipole?
The SWR isn't quite what I like on 80 and 160 meters with the antenna I 
have.  I got it from DX enginering, it is the all band with 110 feet on 
either leg and  ladder line, 181.3 feet to match to 160.  That is what 
the directions say.   The swr is about 3 to 1 on 80.  It tunes  but I am 
thinking of something different for 40, 80, and 160.  I do have the hex 
beam from 20 to 6 meters.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
