It will be not my intention to use it as a TX antenna to make QSO's....... I just need "something" to connect to my loading coil/variometer to check if things are working, and to check if the step up transformer stays cool now..... So, I suppose I have to change the vertical download to 3 parallel wires, and change the topload to 3 wider spaced wires. I'll try to get them as far apart as possible, I guess that will be 50cm spacing, thus overall width 1 meter I gues by connecting the outher parts together will give me another 1m on each side...... Thanks sofar Will try to change things tomorrow if WX permits Dick, PA4VHF
