A standard dipole will only work well on one band. However, if you put
several different dipoles together in parallel, you can have antennas for different bands using the same feedpoint. ========================== A single dipole will work well on many bands ,provided a balanced feeder of 300 - 450 or 600 Ohms (to name a few) is used ,obviously with a balanced to unbalanced matching unit. For this purpose I successfully use a 2 times 21 metres (68 ft) dipole with a 450 Ohms ribbon feeder on all bands from 1.8 to 30 MHz. The length is not all that critical although the dipole should preferably be half a wavelength for the lower freq band used. Because of its balanced behaviour the feeder does not radiate . In my case the feeder runs into and over the loft into the lower level shack without RF interference problems . Frank GM0CSZ / KN6WH |
