Took down the 66 feet Inverted L wednesday, and put up the new one.
Today did the last work, now it's 77 feet high and 77 feet wire slanting to 40 feet above ground.
It;'s too long for 160 but i'm using the MFJ 998 1.5 KW autotuner, this way on 80 and above the tuner has no problems matching it with the Heathkit SB-1000 P.A..
The vertical section starts at the bottom with 3 1/4 inch tubing titanex quality, ends with 1 1/4 inch on top.
Wallthickness 2.5 mm ( 1/10 inch).
Difficult to see in the piccie but on top 3 wires, one the isolated copper wire for the L section, and 2 kevlar wires guying the top.
25 feet lower 4 uy wires also kevlar, and at 20 feet support at the roof edge, and at 13 feet an stainless steel mount, at the bottom the isolator and feed point.
Made 2 dB difference ( stronger) with the local and medium distance stations.
Still need to put the wire higher, will do that tomorrow.
