Antenna is 243' of insulated 14ga copper, about 90' wide and 30' tall, with the top at about 60', fed at a bottom corner with 450 ohm ladder line.
Looking North and up at the far end. The white rope going down to the right is part of the catenary support line. (click for larger image)
Looking North and you can just make out the sun's reflection on the top horizontal run at about 60'. In the foreground is some of the debris from last winter's ice storm. You can also see one of the catenary support lines going down slightly left of vertical.
Another looking North.
Looking East South East and up at the far end support lines. I used two catenary lines to be able to move and adjust the far end so the antenna wire didn't touch the tree branches.
Another one looking South giving an idea how big this antenna is. It shows the 30' vertical portion connecting the two 90' horizontal runs.
Looking South along the creek bed. From here you can't make out the antenna which is on the other side of the tall trees in foreground. The antenna has an elevation of about 1000' above sea level and is in the clear looking downhill from North East to South West.
Looking South showing both top and bottom 90' horizontal runs.
