Default Fan Dipole insight

I am very very proud that I hung a 80-Meter dipole about 100 feet
above my QTH last week.

But I also had a hankering to cover 40 Meters with it too (although I
already had a 40 Meter dipole). So the section in the antenna book
about fan dipoles came to mind.


Feed it with 450 ohm ladder-line and you can cover 40m
simply by changing the length of the ladder-line with
no tuner required. Please reference:
