I've been thinking on an OCF dipole. Reports/reviews are positive. I am going to add a wrinkle to this by adding an Icom AH-4.

I planned on a OCF dipole using 88 feet on one side, 47 feet on the other. A center insulator (dog bone) and feed the thing woth 450 window line. Then down about 40 feet to the AH-4, mounted on the chainlink fence.

The major issue here is the run of 450 ohm ladder line. I have not been about to find any references to anyone else doing this.

The new house has TREES! == BIG TREES!

Any suggestions from the antenna guru's here??
Can you map your trees and mark their heights?
