Optimum length for ladder-fed dipole
Rick wrote:
A half wave at 160 meters is a bit under 260 feet. Is there any particular reason I should limit its length to 260 feet? I have enough room to make it about 320 feet... any particular reason I shouldn't do that? The optimum length of feedline for feeding a 1/2WL dipole on 160m is 1/2WL, i.e. about 233 feet. If you make the dipole longer than 1/2WL, the optimum length of feedline is less than 1/2WL which may be a benefit. -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |
