Ya,,, 10 m been kinda quite lately around here, the dipole I am using now
doesn't really allow for efficient transmissions and I don't like putting
the old drake through all that. I am in the middle of building myself an all
band dipole. I started last August and had to put the project on hold for a
bit but should resurrect it some day, maybe this aft. Since I started that
project, I made a windom dipole for a friend and it works wonders on most
all bands.

I always made single band dipoles for my antenna farm, then again I
had the towers to hang them off of.

It wasn't until I met Lou Varney, G5RV of the G5RV multifreq dipole
fame and spent a couple of hours with him for a QSTinterview that I
built my first G5RV and used it in a CQ World Wide CW contest - all
the dipoles came down, I put up two G5RVs oriented NE/SW and NW/SE at
100 feet and used them for several years as an all purpose antenna. I
took tenth in the CQ WW one year QRP using only the G5s.

I worked 210 countries all band and DXCC on 20/30 and 75 QRP with
those dipoles.

Great antennas.
