I'm considering a 160 meter Carolina Windom between trees. Center about 50 foot high and ends about 20 feet. The feedline would hang about 1/2 way between the center and end with no support. What kind of sag would I get with the weight of the baluns and coax without tension so tight that might break something? Not sure I could rig up some sort of support for the feedpoint. Seems like nobody considers the weight the baluns put on an antenna. Anybody with experiance? Thanks, Ron, KD6E |

http://antennatensioner.com/drupal/table Here is a table that may help out. I use top loaded wire verticals on 80 and 160 meters. Even though they are just 40 ft high, I have 4400 contacts on 80 and 3000 on 160. Zack W1VT |
