Default Fan Dipole insight

I am very very proud that I hung a 80-Meter dipole about 100 feet
above my QTH last week.

But I also had a hankering to cover 40 Meters with it too (although I
already had a 40 Meter dipole). So the section in the antenna book
about fan dipoles came to mind.

I looked in the ARRL antenna book, it told me that the seperation of
wires was not all that important. So I sort-of duplicated one of the
sketches in the book, and hung the 40 meter wire from an tiny little
egg insulator on the 80 meter wire.

=============================
Your 80m dipole can be effectively used on ALL bands if you use twin
feeder. See another recent thread on this NG.
