Default 450 ohm feedline to a multiband vertical



An old answer for multiband the easy way was a 22 foot vertical with
22 foot radials and open wire feed... I like yours better because your
vertical is taller...

Which makes it fairly useless on 10m. 22 ft is just
about the maximum monopole height for good low
angle radiation on 10m. 17m is just about the
highest useful frequency for a 33 ft. monopole.

I had very good performance on 40m-10m feeding the
22 foot system with an SG-230.

I get a nose bleed when the radio tunes that high....
