Ladder line Vs. Coax

I have a 160M windom and a G5RV and will dedicate this inverted vee antenna to 75M. There's your answer. And here's the readers digest version of it. As a rule of thumb, if you are going to use an antenna cut for a specific band, cut it for that, and use coax, and a balun. If you want to have multiple bands from one antenna without traps or tricks, use ladder line and a tuner. The ladder line can handle the wildly varying VSWR, and the tuner will, well, allow the Xciever to see an impedence it likes. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |
