I've used parallel fed "fan" dipoles for years.
But I've never bothered with legs for 15m.. Always used the 40 m legs for 15m.. Guess a habit back from my novice days.. Back then, my old transmitters would match either load no sweat.. No tuner required.. Heck, I didn't even use an SWR meter when I first started.. :/ Never missed it either.. With my modern rigs, the match on 15m, using the 40m legs is usually a tad higher than I'd like for S/S finals.. ![]() So I slap a tuner into the picture as a "line flattener". Even a cheapy MFJ random wire tuner will match that.. And most internal radio tuners could probably handle it ok. It's not too far off from being a 3/4 wave on 15m. None of my radios have internal tuners, but I have several stand alone tuners. |
