Just to let you guys know. On the 12th of November 2011 the Yorkshire dales Contest Group YDCG entered the Top Band contest with a dipole center at 40ft and the ends sloping to 20ft.
We worked 98 stations, accruing 1434 points on a busy band and popular contest by the looks of it.

The antenna appeared to radiate well resonating on 1.920 some 20KHz difference from when G7COD & M0DRF originally built the antenna a couple of weeks ago in an Inverted V config. This time we used 3 masts which enabled us to get the ends of the antenna higher up.
