I'm not so sure I would want to be the one sitting on that deck when you are
cranking out 100W. I would think that would significantly exceed the RF
exposure standards. But then again, it might save the cost of a Vasectomy.

Subject: [Antennas] question regarding dipole
Hello: I want to run a dipole for 40 meters, 33 feet for each leg, under my
second story deck. I was going to use insulated wire and staple the wire
to the underside of
the
supports of the deck. Purpose of the antenna is just to hook up to when I am
on the deck to work some 100 watt CW.
I am going to fit the 66 feet of dipole into 40 feet by simply running the
wire in a pattern like this _|~~|__|~~|________ center
__________|~~|__|~~|__ You get the
picture. (I made the top lines wavy only because I did not know how to type
them straight. The wire will run in straight lines).
My question is: Is there some type of rough rule of thumb on changing the
lenght of the wire if you are going to shorten the total lenght of the area
that the dipole is going
to fit into, or doesn't it matter? Would I still use the 33 feet? This
antenna will be up about 8 feet from the ground, but the land slopes away
from the house.
Thanks, Joe. N8TI
