I later added another 20' to either end for a total of a 100' dipole. That improved things even further all across the bands. Those tuned inputs do work compared with the straight wire input (and ground).

For the BCB your will need about 500' per side to be resonant. At 100' your resonant at about 10Mc. I've got about 120' up in the air at 35' or so and it works well. The higher up the better, unfortunately I don't have any tall trees just 40' pines.
