Yard with a maximum antenna possibility of 100 feet. Make it 102' and you could hang a G5RV for 75m, 40m, 20m & 12m. Or, is there anything that would contraindicate using this approach? The SWR on the ladder-line will be very high (~30:1) on 75m and too high on 160m. When a dipole is less than 1/2WL on the lowest frequency of operation, the feedpoint resistance goes down and the feedpoint reactance goes up as the frequency is decreased. As the antenna-length/ wavelength ratio goes down, the SWR goes up. Here is some information on a 130' all-HF band ladder-line fed dipole. http://www.w5dxp.com/notuner.htm One could short the ladder-line wires together and feed the antenna against ground for 160m operation. -- 73, Cecil, w5dxp.com |
