Hello all. I am looking at building a half size rotatable 40M dipole.
It will be approxiamately 10 metres long end to end. It will have a
loading coil in each leg with about 5 metres of wire wound on a nylon
former. My question is, where would be the best spot to mount the
loading coils? Half way along each leg, ie- about 2.5 metres from the
feed point or should the coils be mounted closer to the feed point? I
realise that this antenna will be inferior to a full size dipole, but
a half size one will fit where I am located.
Any constructive ideas or experience with loading coils would be
appreciated.
Cheers
Max

Here is the install info for the 40M add-on for the Cushcraft A3S
Beam.

I have been happy with its performance and durability. I expect you
can glean some info from the pictures.
