I have a copy of a magazine article, published in July 2002 QST, that
describes a linear loaded antenna for 40 meters. The loading section is made
of 450 ohm window type ladder line.

I am considering using it as part of a fan dipole in my attic and am
wondering if anyone has tried this configuration on 15 meters as well as 40.

If so, what should I expect? Are there any pitfalls I should be concerned to
avoid? Etc.

Thanks and 73.
