ok. im about to build a multi band fan dipole (75,40,20,17,15,12,10) longest leg is 60ft'ish. now where i live I dont have alot of options to string up something.. and I can not go very high in the air (feedpoint will be about 15ft) I have powerlines that run along the property to my west so i want to stay well away from them. 1 tree is not far enough out. which leaves 1 tree left. now I can run 1 leg to the tree then run the other leg over to a stink pipe then back over to the old antenna support then back to the feedpoint... which I want to stay away from since using that path one leg will be over the roof for most of the run.
but what if i ran both legs out to the tree the legs spaced by about a ft (see image black = house, green dot = tree, red line = power line, red dot = feed point, blue lines = antenna wire) what kind of radiation pattern would this have? would I have ok results with it or would i be better off using a dummy load?
