As high as possible. Actually being serious mine is tuned for 10m and is located 30ft high but will be going higher next year when I put the tower up (50ft plus). Use good low loss coax and get it high but try to keep it at multiples of a halfwave (about 18ft for 11m). |

Try to get it at least 1 wave length. (36')If not, get it as high as can. |

IF you have enough mini-8 coax you MIGHT try this,go to army/navy store and get 3 weather balloons some very strong cord and a BIG boat winch then you can put it up as high as you want,maybe 500 feet,by god then you'll get out.Bigbob |

Yeah, right, it was a weather balloon, and there are no bodies in area 51, right. |

Bigbob, Tried that a few years back with a 80m longwire (300ft of 18gauge and 290ft of fishing line) worked great until the wind picked. Suddenly my town had now power, legnths of copper wire with melted ends everywhere and a weather balloon floating free on the wind.. |
