Thanks for the input Guy, Actually, the lengths are just a result of me trying to get this antenna optimized for 40m with my Yaesu 840 and the MFJ unbalanced tuner. This is my first HF antenna, and I never intended for it to be a true multibander. And yes - it never performed well on 20m at all. I live on a small lot and can't get anything too high, so it was just a means to get on the air. It did well on 40m and 30m with the old setup, so more than anything, I am curious why the K2/KAT2 can't seem to tune it up on 40.
40/30/20 is all I'm interested in right now, so perhaps the half G5RV might be something I should explore?! I certainly would not be opposed to lopping 8 feet off each end of this antenna. Thanks again!
