I use a 47' wide, 25' high Flag with a Wellbrook FLG100 North American Flag
head amp
and a modified version of Mark Connelly's variable resistance/termination

In shack control BOX and At Antenna Termination box -

The difference is - I use a separate pair of wires to feed the variable DC
to the antenna termination box.
