Electronic Switch sold the Fritzel version of the OCF as the FD-4 (80 to 10)
and the FD-3 (40 to 10). The FRitzel was built like a battleship. I agree with ham who said you could built one at home. I forget the exact dimensions (41' was the short side of 136 total length) but the only trick is to use a proper 300 ohm to 50 ohm balun. Or you can feed it with ladderline as several have done. The OCF is the latest version of an old antenna called the windom for W8GZ (the inventor). This one was fed with a single line. The only thing I would be afraid of on this is the balun. We tested and double tested the Fritzel and they were underrated. The 700 watt version took 1500W with no problem. The 2KW and 5KW probably took far more. I had the 2KW and it easily took a KW of AM. 73 Dave K4JRB Va4ua wrote in message ...
