Mine is set up as a 92 ft flattop and 42 ft feeder , one end at 50 ft the other at 25 ft (that's what I had to work with). I have a switc; /archives//html/Topband/2015-03/msg00204.html (10,726 bytes)

The major shortcoming of this antenna is not the shape of the pattern or the match to the rig, it is the fact that it's not very tall and the ra; /archives//html/Topband/2015-03/msg00206.html (8,562 bytes)

First, build the proposed antenna, set it up at home with the coax connected directly to the ladder line at the bottom, the hot and ground each to one leg.

On 40, 20, 18, 12 and 10 meters, the feedpoint is close enough to 50 ohms to present a good match when properly trimmed .

I guess one could argue that most antennas are similar, just with length adjustments. Take a 160 ft long wire, cut it up i; /archives//html/Topband/2015-03/msg00215.html (8,210 bytes)
