All these antennas are easy to model with EZNEC. You may find some
of the results surprising.

I scaled the 44 feet up 4 times to 176 feet to get a reasonable
match on 160 meters with my poor ground system.
Its 55 feet high with the rest sloping somewhat down to about 25 feet.
It is tuned at the base with a remote coupler. There is 140 feet of
coax berried from the coupler to my 3rd floor (loft) shack.
I am happy with the performance.
Before I built the remote antenna, I had an end fed wire with no
coax tuned in the shack. It was fed with a ground wire hanging down
the house from the peak. It worked OK on transmit, but was noisy on
receive. Getting the feed away from my house really knocked the noise down.

40 - 6 meters and a piece of cake for the KX3. It is loud on 30m
