Guys,

The swr is fine when i checked on it tune fine and i found out about the trees  between those 2 trees from front and back they are about 94 ft beween those 2 trees and the tree in back is trimed ! they still have to come back finish the job and put wire back up ! as i saying i was using SWR ANALYZER showing 1.1 each band some are up little but not much i check all the connection all good !

And.......i checked the line make sure they are not broken or any thing ! ,but i did find some info. other atenna as well !! i guess need to learn more on these things .i may not be smart but thats the fun thing to learn !!

You guys are so cool to help out other, i think you all for helping !!!!!!!!
I will try other to see what works or not working may have study on those wire antenna more.

I have a question i have carolina windom about 40 ft with 1.1 baun ,i just brought coax from huntsville ala. hamfest last month ! the question is does it matter where you put RF choke top or bottom.

I don't know if is dumb question or good question ? i did do 6' choke about 10 turns if remember right !

I had to replace the old coax since someone forgot to seal the coax since i was sick that day
