The OCF was mounted as a sloper at first down to the corner of garage to try to keep it from being a issue the elderly lady would worry about, ya that was horrible. So I brought it down to hand from the tower to a bracket I built off the corner of the garage.
The end fed is at the top of the tower 40 foot up sloping down to garage like six inches above the steel roof of our house...
If the lady next door wasn't so picky she has a perfect tree in her back yard that would be PERFECT to hang the loose end of it from (not going to happen, I tried)
So would it do any good to shorten the wire on the endfed? Take it back from 80 and shorten it to 40? Or would that throw everything off for it?

There's a guy here uses a Eagle one vertical antenna, he has a attachment where he slides it in a trailer hitch on his suv, not sure where his tuner ect is located but have worked him several times and always sounds good here, he is also a POTA guy...
