Jim, If I had a little more land, I'd put up dipoles also. I am however using half slopers on 40,20, and 10 meters. the longest is only 32 feet. The 40 meter unit tunes well on 15 also. i haven't worked anyone on 15 as I haven't been around when the band is open. I am just about able to put up a 75 meter half sloper to a point on a tree from the tower. What do you use to tickle the dipoles? I have a Heath DX-40 which is more than enough for any cw contact but I haven't done more than test on AM. Do you think the higher bands will go with the lower power on AM? Thanks for the advice in advance! Ken KC8QO
