Hello Seab,
I made one for 17 meters and it worked well I can't
tell you anything about take off angle, but I did
work the Ivory Coast with it.
I cost about a hundred bucks to put together and
got shredded in the wind.
Now I tune my 2 element Cushcraft beam on 17 and call
it good enough.
A curtain for 15 should be more manageable.
Let the ends float through the insulators,
and provide strain relief for the solder joints,
maybe by tying it to a support rope.
Hope yours lasts longer than mine did.
