Default Doublet Antenna question

).

It turns out that it becomes quite challenging to implement an
efficient feed system (especially over a wide frequency range) where
the dipole is less than about 35% of a wavelength at the lowest
frequency.


Yes, my 100 foot length would be about 42% ofthe wavelength of my
lowest operating band, 75M.... perhaps it wouldn't be any problem for my
cheap MFJ balanced line tuner to feed it?

I appreciate your comments. I'm off shortly to study the website you
pointed me to. Thanks.
