Craig, if you'd like to give me the exact dimensions of your KAZ I can model
it for you. eg..the bottom wire is 6 feet up and is it 140 long ? How high
up is the central support and the antenna perfectly symetrical about it ?
Also what resistance did you use ?
A 140 ft base may be a bit too large for the upper BCB band .. 73 KAZ
