Probably my first HF antenna as a novice was a 40/15 meter dipole
where 40 meters was 1/2 wave and 15 was 3/2 wave. I have never had a problem dropping SWR on 15 meters to 1:1.1 with this antenna center fed. However, as I understand antenna radiation on a wire, the optimum point should be somewhere else along the wire to match the impedance properly. I suspect it should be close to 1/3 of the way from one end. Any thoughts about this? -- 73 for now Buck N4PGW |
