10 meters
A sloping dipole with one end at the front third floor window and the other end at the edge of my front porch roof. See two pictures below. It makes about a 30 degree angle with vertical. Like my other dipoles, it is fed with 72 ohm coax, but this time with a few turns of the coax rolled into a coil at the central feed point to act as a coax balun. The balun can be seen clearly in one picture. This coax simply runs in the shack window through a hole in the storm window frame and a notch in the bottom of the window itself. It then goes to the switch in my tuner. It also is matched with the ICOM AH705 tuner to a low SWR. This dipole is made of #16 stranded bare wire.
