Previous experience of adding a 30m dipole to an existing 20/40/80m
unit was not good. 30m doesn't have a harmonic relationship and it
presented weird and wonderful reactance to the feedpoint. ymmv<br>

<div>I have to say I do like the dell service, where if you order
a computer with a monitor (can just be a laptop), they pickup
the old monitor for free and dispose of it :) Though they had
a heart attack when we asked if we could dispose of 60 21"
sony's through that :-p Actually, they had enough of a heart
attack when we asked about ordering 60 LCD's as 'spares' for our
existing machines.. ;)</div>

will be interesting to see how much better that is than my TEV-1

<div>Wow, that's not bad - ACT govt charges $50/monitor
to dump them at the tip.. - when we replaced our 21"
sony CRT's with 19" LCD's back in 2005 (worked out
we'd pay back the costs of replacing 3x21" 500W crt's
with 3x19" 50W LCD's per Desk, in just under 6
months!), we ended up shoving them all into the
dumpster out the back over a couple of weeks..</div>
