Has anyone used an Alpha Delta DX-40/20 Antenna??

[Norm Klieman]

Has anyone ever used an Alpha Delta DX40-20 antenna?
A friend of mine is going to let me use it over the
winter months with my K1. What I wanted to find out if
anyone has used this as a sloper and how high off the
ground did you have the end or did you just angle it
directly with an anchor into the ground. I am
considering also running it as an inverted vee but
again need to know if it has a specific requirement if
the ends have to me a certain height off the ground.
Any other comments on this antenna are welcome to!

Not me but for what it's worth I've used the DX-40 for the past three
years and *highly* recommend it.  Well made. rugged, reliable, great
performer.

I had best results when I used it in a flat-top, non inverted vee
format, about 50 feet off the ground.  Unfortunately I don't have that
kind of space in the new QTH, though it does perform very well at
about 40 feet with slight vee (one leg is more vee-ey than the other
right now).  Not ideal but works well.
