being tucked under the eves of a house will be neither good nor efficient,
it will be too close to wiring, piping, metal gutters, drip edge, and who knows what else inside the walls. it will also pick up noise from everything in the house on receive, and likely get into any poorly shielded electronic device in the house. that being said, put up whatever is physically easy to do. leave off the balun and run to a tuner in the shack and be done with it. it will work everywhere your tuner will handle it. if the tuner can't handle a particular band try opening it opposite the feed point or change the length of the feedline to give the tuner a different impedance to match. "Theplanters95" wrote in message ... The size of the house is about 25 feet by 40 feet, not including the 2 peaks of the roof line. This gives a resonant frequency of about 7.7 mhz. The addition of the two peaks, hopefully will bring it down to the 40m range. I was thinking of adding a 1/4 wave 75m stub to the antenna. I am more interested in effeciency and performance than being resonant (yeah, I know that resonant antennas are more efficient...), but I need a good, multiband antenna. Randy |
