Ewwww, ray was correct - swr on 30m would be 38 (609+j895) on 30m,
due to the other band dipoles not being full wave etc on 30m.. Ok,
will be a 40(+15)/20/10 dipole then ;) I had contemplated shoving
5m on the bottom, but it might look kinda rediculous in the middle..<br>

I thought I'd just make the top band 40m, and add 30 in the
middle.. Might shove it through MMANA first to see what happens,
before I finish cutting and assembling that behemoth, and then
pulling it up between the masts..

<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>

<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>
