Hi All

Is there a web site where I can read about the relation between the
thickness of the wire and the bandwith.

Thanks in advance

Per,

Going from 2 mm to 10 mm wire is not going to make a dramatic increase in
bandwidth. If you are trying to cover all of 75/80 meters, for instance,
with an SWR less than 2, you are better off having two parallel dipoles. You
would have to play with EZNEC to get it right, but you need the dipoles to
be resonant at roughly 3800 and 3600.
