So it makes no sense to connect an OCF Dipole directly to a twin feeder .


Followed by Cecil Moore writing :
So exactly to what feedline does it make sense to
connect an OCF Dipole?

========================================
To coax via a (voltage)balun (usually 4:1 )
The balun being either a ferrite bar or a toroid , wound with 1 bi-filar
winding eg a 2 to 1 (auto)transformer resulting in 4:1 impedance
transformation.
