I need help in choosing a dipole. I want to work
10-80 meters but low on space.....any ideas? help??


Install the longest and highest dipole which will fit comfortably into your
back yard and feed it preferably via open-wire line, or via 450-ohms
ladder-line.

If very short of length extend the dipole by converting it into an
inverted-U.

Feedline of no particular length. Allow a little exra just in case. Use a
simple choke balun between feedline and tuner.

And you will have the best all-directional, nearly-all-band dipole for your
particular circumstances.

(Myself, I prefer to use an end-fed inverted-L. It allows 160m to be used.)
