Tony,
how high up are the ends and are you running this as a flat top or inverted "v" also how is it oriented N-S or E-W? Iv'e tried a couple of different dipole configurations 102' and 133' and a fan dipole (it actually worked good 10-20) but that was getting to big to keep up in the wind. My best ant so far has been a homebrewed cobra ant. 73' per leg physically made with rad shack 3 conductor rotor control wire fed with a quarter wave length of 450 ohm twinlead from a DX engineering 1:1 balun plays real nice 10-160 of course 160 has always within 1800 miles but it works. 10-40 i don't even need a tuner.
