In the article "Taming the End-Fed Antenna" ("The Antenna File", RGSB, pg

proposed the following end-fed wire lengths:
- 26.5m (86.9 ft) for 160 - 10M use
- 15m (49.2 ft) for 80, 40, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10M use
- 10m (32.8 ft) for 80, 40, 30, 17, 15, 12, 10M use
hmmmmm, 86.9 looks like the length used for an EDP, doesn't it?
Don't have access to the publication, but does he mention a counterpoise(s)
for any of the lengths above?
