This is a 20m dipole on the flagpole at Palo Verde elementary school, which is closed for break. The coax ito the balun is 18' long and the FT-817 is up on about 4' so with the angle of the coax it evens out to about 20ft HAAT. It is pointed roughly east-west, about 90 degrees away from my G5RV at home. I used rubber-band rockets to launch nylon monofiliment fishing line over tree twigs to support the ends of my dipole, which is a bit corroded from 10 days beachside in Maui...

I worked KB7GFL on this antenna, Much less QRN here!
