But fly Avro Lancasters at zero zero feet,
Flying Avro Lancasters at zero zero feet,
Flying Avro Lancasters at zero zero feet,
We've got f... all ammunition and a great big blooming bomb,
As we go rolling on.

Flying flying fortresses at forty thousand feet,

We've got bags of ammunition and a teeny weeny bomb,
As we go rolling on.

Please don't send him here. We dont want him. He publicly disowned us, and we have done the same...

Not having to lift a balun to the top is a plus too - I have a small self-made 49:1 impedance transformer on the one end, which I rig to be about 2m(7ft?) Off the ground.

I have had very good success with my EFHW as it is resonant for the most part on 40/20/15/10. In the sort of terrain I have here, not having to drop the mast to change jumpers is the main attraction for me, and as long as you understand the changing radiation patterns, you are good to go.

I can see how that may come across in the US! I'm in Africa and our parks are a bit different to yours! I participate in SOTA here, and my personal preference is an EFHW setup as an inverted V. Others prefer a linked dipole.

What are you doing? SOTA/POTA etc?
