I built a Doublet years ago I found on Ham Universe . Not sure what it was designed after. I deployed it at 40 ft on a Rohn telescoping pole, worked really good. If I ever get the room to put one up I'll probably do it again.

Nice work Don. My doublet that I use now is 110' total from the info I gave you from DXE. Try to keep the coax 10' or less and use lmr 400 or something in the same quality. L ove it that you keep chugging along with the new place!

I will get there with the length of the coax run but I have to find a place to lay it out and then determine how I far the ladder line needs to extend. I will likely add more ladder line when I find the length required. The ZS6BKW is not a doublet and so you can run coax to the shack. However, I was talking with some folks today who are going to help me get a shack built.

I got a contact right before the CaHR show started on it. 100W to VK5 and got a 55. And I have been doing some FT8 with it. I don't remember if I gave you a shout out as well in the video but the first recording had it. I really appreciate all the help that you and Chuck have been giving me.
