I don't have the answer to this one - too many non educated people who thinks that you can stick anything up in the air and hook up an antenna tuner and it will work or work properly - are just kidding themselves..
Buy yourself a resonant antenna and be done with it. The antenna I use is a Barker & Williamson BWD 90 Folded dipole. It works everywhere from 10 - 160 meters - WITHOUT A ANTENNA TUNER. My other antenna is a off center fed dipole, does everything except 15 meters. Does not require antenna tuner. Antenna Tuners or trickers as I call them, does not make the antenna resonant, it just tricks the transmitter into thinking that it is putting it's power into a true 50 ohm load. |

Hmm...$780? I don't think so, LOL.
"BDWS-65n 4 - 54 Mhz Folded Dipole, Stainless Steel, 65 Ft, N connector, 1 KW" How can they ask $780 for this antenna? Am I missing something? I can't imagine this would outperform my loop, especially on the low bands. Thanks for the recommendation, though. kb8viv |
