Paladin:
I have been using the Cobra ultra-lite antenna since
the fall season. I had to cut
the feedline to 80ft. of 450 ladderline,and then add a good 4/1 balun
at the window,and then
i had to add 50ft. of good grade coax to my T-network tuner.
I can tune all of 160 with no problems. I also can use
the amp, about 4-500watts
output WITH no sparks or rf on equiptment. I'm on the 2nd floor
here. There were some
"growing" pains at first,but no it's doing fine. It gets out rather
well,with or without the amp.
I'm still a bit confused though. I still seem to NEED that
feedline LENTH. TOTAL.....
80ft. of L.L. the balun,and then 50ft. of coax. That's 140ft.
total. Works great,though !
