... but like to try a full wave antenna 2x 5.17 meters, ... For maximum gain, you would need an Extended Double Zepp dipole. It would be approximately 13 meters long fed with a matching section of 450 ohm ladder-line that is approximately 1.8 meters long. Install ten turns of coax where the coax connects to the ladder-line. The above lengths would need to be adjusted, plus or minus, for lowest SWR. If you really want a full wave antenna, feed it with approximately 2.5 meters of 450 ohm ladder-line with ten turns of coax at the coax/ladder-line junction. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
