No stretching of the wire. The limbs don't blow around much in that area to be honest.
I still plan on putting the vector 4000 back up Marconi. Just haven't had the time. Been too busy with work and wore out on the weekends!! The dipole was easy to put up, that is the only reason I did it. Also it is pretty directional. I hear most N/S with it. I can hear locals in all directions, but not very far.
It definitely isn't like the vector 4000, but it's an antenna that allows me to at least get on the air. Like I said, luckily where it's at the wind doesn't mess with it much at all. And it works well enough for now, until I get the time to get my vector 4000 back up. Thanks for the comments and hopefully I'll hear some DX now LOL!! Been pretty quiet here. But I haven't been on the radio that much to honestly say if there has been much DX.

[QUOTE="222DBFL, post: 569982, member: 36544"] No stretching of the wire. The limbs don't blow around much in that area to be honest. I still plan on putting the vector 4000 back up Marconi. Just haven't had the time. Been too busy with work and wore out on the weekends!! The dipole was easy to put up, that is the only reason I did it. Also it is pretty directional.
