put up the longest dipole you can as high as you can and load it with a tuner... that is the easiest and fastest way. if you have an 80m dipole that will work ok to try it out. Unless you have a legal-limit tuner, or are going to use QRP power levels, I would advise against that. If the dipole is coax fed and is 80M 1/2 wavelength, at 100 watts out there is going to be some crazy-high RF voltages inside that tuner. If it's an MFJ 300 watt tuner, more than likely it's going to arc like a welder. Feeding the dipole with ladder-line is a different story...... I am in a city lot and use an Alpha Delta DX-A sloper.... but again it helps to have a tower with a tribander to act as a capacity hat.... Mark W4UDX |
