So, looking at your post #99, am I right in saying you've now got an inverted V, cut for resonance on 80m, with a 1:1 balun feeding coax to the shack, and I'm not sure about what you finally did re an ATU?
My reason for asking is that I have men with a big chainsaw arriving on the 17th to do some major tree work (you have to book these guys
months in advance in leafy Oxfordshire!) and thereby creating a new opportunity to put up an 80m inverted V. It will be Christmas come early
.
(trees are not being felled just to make room for an antenna, but in part, to keep a reasonable (he's paying 50%) neighbour happy).
