My 102" GP
I just changed my L to an inverted Y. This is what I used for year at my previous QTH. I know the anton I have would be a little better, but do to where I have to put it up, it's getting into the neighbor's overhanging tree branches. I used 3-102" SS whips for this and I have an SWR below 1.5 from 27.065 to 28.500.

Re: My 102" GP
That looks like it will work just fine. I once built something similar using a bunch of old aluminium ski poles I found in the trash.

Re: My 102" GP
Slim, I had that same setup for at least 5 years. When the wind calms down I'll add the 10' fence rail, the pole it's on now is a 16' skimmer pole.

Talked to 373 Fl today, first DX contacts in a few years. Heard some 10M skip too but didn't get through.
