![]() - The dipole wires don't have to be straight. If you zigzag each side of the dipole back and forth across the width of the attic space a couple of times you can probably increase the length of the wires significantly, and improve the tuner's ability to load up the wires onto the lower-frequency bands. Dave, I will definitely add a choke balun. How much zig zagging do you think I could get away with without introducing factors that would seriously degrade performance? My attic crawl space is about 3 feet wide, 4feet high pitching down to the floor and 28 feet in length. I imagine I could easily fit a 33 foot dipole in that area to work 20M. Thanks for the info.
