Yea BM, this one was just too much like you note. I got carried away on the idea without checking out all the variables I could imagine...before I posted. It's not like I've never made a mistake though.

I think this project does suggest that maybe mounting our 11 meter antenna at 36' feet to the feed point, or using a 1/2 wave tuned feed line may not always be our best choice however.

And, we still have to take away something from W8JI's words, when he commented in his article on the Imax and mentioned worst case scenario regarding antenna mounting. I don't think he said that for nothing, even though he didn't give us any more details.
