Hi Kaz,

Correct on the QTH and antenna. I do have a possible spot for another 
DKAZ to the west, but the feedline would probably be around 200 feet or 
maybe a little more. It would also be right in a tree line, so I'd 
probably suspend the tops from trees instead of using poles. Hmmm. I'll 
have to go take a closer look.

Speaking of feedlines, how do you all run your feedlines from the 
antenna to the house / shack? I'm assuming most of you either bury the 
cable (either in conduit or with direct-bury cable) or you run it back 
through trees off of the ground. Does anyone just leave the feedline lie 
on top of the ground, and then you move it every time you mow? Or maybe 
you don't mow and just let goats eat the grass. I've considered that. 
Except they'd probably eat the coax too.
