Carolina Windom using 300 ohm ladderline
I am putting up a Carolina Windom using ladderline instead of the
variant that uses ten feet of coax.
As an OCF the antenna should drive RF to radiate from the vertical
ladderline (coupled to the coax via 4:1 balun)
Odd multiples of the desired wavelength are recommended for the
calculated length of the vertical component.
I have 47 feet of ladderline and my question is:
Does it make much difference whether a low odd multiple or high odd
multiple of the wavelength is used. i.e., 1/3 lambda, 3/5 lambda, 5/3, etc?
I don't have direct access to EZNEC right now.
If you gotta flame, OK but at least this is question about ANTENNAS.
