Putting up a 10 through 160 or 10 through 80 meters dipole. I have lots of
wire and coax and a 1:1 balon. Interested in how the shape or form of this dipole should be to work properly Hammer, An all band dipole should not be fed with coax. On many of the bands you want to work, the coax will have too much loss, and may fail due to the extreme voltages that may be present. A better choice would be a dipole, as long and high as you can make it. Feed it with 450 ohm ladder line to an antenna tuner in your shack. The 1:1 balun should insert between the line and your tuner. You now have an all band efficient dipole. BTW the antenna newsgroup would be better to ask this type of question, you will get loads of answers there. 73 Gary N4AST |
