	SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A CRYING NEED FOR A SERIES-TUNED LOOP.  I HAVE
BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH THESE ON 75.  I WOULD DRAPE ABOUT 50 FEET OF
LARGE DIAMETER CONDUCTOR (THE OUTER CONDUCTOR OF GOOD RG8/U COAX IS
FINE).  FEED THE "NEAR" END AND RETURN THE "FAR" END TO THE FEED-POINT
GROUND THROUGH A WIDE-SPACED AIR-VARIABLE CAP (~50PF. MAX. FOR 75
METERS).  ~1800 PF. MICA ACROSS THE FEED-POINT HELPS ON THE MATCH.

		GOOD LUCK!
