Optimum length for ladder-fed dipole
I'm planning a dipole installation fed with ladder line and a
wide-range antenna tuner.
I'd like to be able to use it on 160 through 10. A half wave at 160
meters is a bit under 260 feet. Is there any particular reason I
should limit its length to 260 feet? I have enough room to make it
about 320 feet... any particular reason I shouldn' t do that?
Thanks...
Rick
