Also, if you're looking for multi-band performance, consider trimming about 30 feet off the antenna - 102 to about 120 feet tends to be more tunable. You might also consider changing over from coax to twin lead, if you can work the logistics... Mike, unless Bob does both, trim to 102 ft *AND* use twin-lead, That is very bad advice. A coax-fed 102 ft. dipole is resonant on 4.59 MHz which is not inside any ham band. It will be a terrible performer on all HF ham bands except 20m where it will have an SWR about 3:1. -- 73, Cecil, W5DXP -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
