Default Doublet Antenna question

Ed wrote:
My main concern was that trying to tune a 100 foot dipole on 75M
might cause problems due to the dipole being shorter than halfwave on
75M. From what I am now concluding from your comments, and others',
this probably won't be an issue?


Walter Maxwell of "Reflections" fame recommends a minimum length
for a dipole of 3/8 wavelength. 102 ft is 3/8 wavelength on
about 3.6 MHz so it should and does work well. That's the length
of my dipole.
