![]() "ml" wrote in message ... I have a rather short dipole i can't 'move' the ends appart any more. currently using 18g stranded just wondering if i went to a larger wire ga would there be any appreciable gains?? tnx Perhaps a little wider bandwidth, would probably require a lot more diameter to achieve much. Not an area of expertise for me, but I have read that bending dipoles is not always a bad thing. You might try adding wire perpendicular to your dipole ends. Also an inverted vee might allow some additional length along the 45 degree downward angle, I believe it might also help with impedance matching (or so I've read). Harold KD5SAK |
