A friend and I made the windam, 43 feet on the one end and 93 feet on 
the long end, with a oblong plastic  piece about 6b inches long for 
the center.  The plastick has an oblong hole for the later line to go 
through, two screws for the later line to hook up to 12 gauge wire, 
and then a couple of inches towards the outside of the plastic two 
more screws holding the wire so that it won't put any strain on the 
later line.  It then is hooked to 2 trees with pulleys, so I can let 
the antenna down if I have to.  The later line hooks to a 4 to 1 
balum, and then has coax going to the shack.
Kind of a home brew windam.
I hope that explains the antenna.
If i didn't make it clear enough, let me know.  I did unhook the auto 
tuner, and I still heard RF.  I will try grounding the mike tomorrow.
We went to the county fare this afternoon with my cousin, and  ate 
more "junk food" than we should and looked at old tractors, and 
demolition cars, I never knew what some of those machines looked like 
and how big they were, or how they set up the cars to run in the demo durbys.
A little off topick, but it was interesting.
