I used the following element lengths:
40m: 11.2m (as original spec)
20m: 5.02m (as original spec)
17m: 3.83m
15m: (runs off 40m element)
12m: 2.88m (as original spec)
10m: 2.47m (slight cut)
*NOTE* Without 10m connected, I still got a tune on the CW end of 10m band – strange but true!

Mary, WN5BDN, lives in a second story apartment with no good access to ground. She is wondering if the electrical (green wire) ground would be enough for a low power UHF/VHF station among other questions concerning possible antennas and interference.

@Siskiyous6 asks if a coax tee can be placed at each new height for an antenna that stacks dipoles. Does each antenna need it’s own coax or can they share?
