Hi Guys,
For a temporary, 1-night, 160-meter antenna... please advise if there would
be much difference in performance between the following 2 options:
1) Load up a 80-m dipole on 160-m by running the RG-8 feedline through an
antenna tuner. (unbalanced?)
2) Tie the rig end of the RG-8 coax together (center and shield tied
together) and run it through the antenna tuner. The only ground available for
the an
tenna tuner/rig will be a couple of ground rods tied to the electric meter
which is 5' away from the rig.
It would be quicker for us to go with Option 1 for this 1-night radio
affair. Neither option is very good but would Option 2 radiate better...
perhaps
some vertical radiation off of the coax?
Thanks!
Dick- K9OM
