Same thing here except my doublet is a stealthy Extended Double Zepp cut for 80 meters (340' long). Works on all bands (6 countries on 160; 200+ countries on the other bands)... 100' of 450 ohm line, 4:1 common mode choke, some coax and the K line is happy. I just wish the oaks were taller, 30' above dirt just isn't enough height.
