Hello all. I am looking at building a half size rotatable 40M dipole.
It will be approxiamately 10 metres long end to end. It will have a
loading coil in each leg with about 5 metres of wire wound on a nylon
former. My question is, where would be the best spot to mount the
loading coils? Half way along each leg, ie- about 2.5 metres from the
feed point or should the coils be mounted closer to the feed point? I
realise that this antenna will be inferior to a full size dipole, but
a half size one will fit where I am located.
Any constructive ideas or experience with loading coils would be
appreciated.
Cheers
Max
