That part where you say "keep a low profile" is the real issue.
Since trees routinely get to 100, and even up to 150 feet, objects of that
size unless close and directly in line with runways are not prohibited.
4000 feet is way past the point where trees have to be cut down in line
with runways.
Lucky me there is no "HOA" where I live. Mention HOA and everybody says
"huh? No way". I am about 4000 feet from the nearest runway but that is
for small aircraft and the 4000 feet is from my home to the *side* of
runway. The tallest tree on my place is about 40 feet high and I don't
want to go ve

There is a small correction necessary - see the text highlighted in CAPITALS
below. Unfortunately, living relatively close to the equator, there is very
little DX signal propagation on 160m after sunrise/before sunset (only about
+15 minutes/- 15 minutes) and this seems high angle.
Why stop at one beer?

Congratulations on success with the new Inverted L and K2AV FCP. All the
credit for concept, development and improvement until the final version is a
result of countless hours of modeling and hard work so all the credit goes
to Guy.

Steve,
What was the length of the horizontal "T" section?

G'day
Here is some encouragement for those of you who are thinking of trying the
K2AV folded counterpoise.
Back in January my Kenpro KR400 rotator finally gave out after about 18
years of misuse (which included turning a 40-10m homebrewed 2-element quad),
resulting in a total rebuild of the
