Hey Doc, Thanks for the insight......Very informative info you gave me.....This whole wire thing is new to me but I'm impressed at what you can gain just by some little pieces of wire....I talked to Dana (DJ 956) last week and he Emailed me some cool links:

Jay in the Mohave and Eddie (Marconi) also gave some good info to me......Thanks guys.....Hey Doc right I'm using some 12g multistrand wire I picked up for about $4.00 at the local hardware store..I got some 12g solid copper wire from a friend. What effects does solid wire have compared to multistrand.........I'll play around with the angle this weekend.......I plan on building the 1 full wave as well........Thanks again Doc for the insight............73's
