Yes, it is a very good choice, BUT by all means, you have to attach
the ladder line directly to your tuner. You can add more ladderline, if you can order one with the length of ladderline you need. The ladderline is not easy to install because it must not be near to metal objects. And you may cause interference problems to your close neighbors. Like I was saying, since you live in an appartment building, a coax feedline will be easier to install. You will also avoid interference with the neighbors with some sort of a good choke balun (current balun) that will prevent the coax shield from radiating. A trap dipole, that is resonnant on some bands will also reduce interference due to the feedline, because it will keep swr low on the coax. So, an antenna such as the Van Gorden "All Bander" would be a better choice? I have a tuner - LDG Z100 and I made a "Balun" by making a 5" dia 12 turn coax choke. I kinda like the idea of the all bander antenna because 1) it has more wire and 2) it has a longer ladder line, allowing it to reach my window. That way, my feedpoint would only be 7 feet from the tuner (less loss in the rg-58 coax). Ken KG0WX |
