I have a 10m dipole in the attic connected to my ic718. Is it possible to tune it to 20m using the mfj 901b that I have? Does the dipole need to be 20m length and then tuned down or can tuners tune to a resonance higher than that of the existing dipole. I do not have a balun on it. On 10m I have an SWR of 1:1 You have a problem. Extend the dipole to 33ft and use it on 20m-10m by feeding it with ladder-line. Use a 1:1 choke/balun between the tuner and the ladder-line. I have a 33ft rotatable dipole fed with 300 ohm window-line. It works very well on all bands between 20m and 10m. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/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! =----- |
