I get product not found!!


It is probably one of those clever bits of web technology that use
dynamic URLs so that they can't be passed on or linked (probably to
frustrate discussion like this)!

Search for 8010ABD100 on their home page.

Is the URL complete?

The BuxComm Antenna Company sells what it calls an All Band Coax-fed
Dipole.

It consists of 135 ft. of wire, a balun at the center feed point, and
the RG 8X coax transmission line. I don't claim to know a whole lot
about antennas, but this configuration is contrary to everything that I
have read about feeding mutiband antennas. When I wrote to the company
with a question about this, I received a response from K4ABT, Buck
Rogers himself. He attached to his note a section from the ARRL Antenna
Book, which seems to indicate that coax should not be used with this
type of antenna if one wants to use it as a multibander. I have a lot
of respect for Buck, based on his years of Elmering a lot of us through
his articles. But this one has me stumped. Any input will be
appreciated.
