Hi Geo,
Any words of wisdom on this please? (I just purchased
one here and need to do a rebuild before putting it up ...)
How high is yours? In-line or 90 degree offset?
TU for all and any advice!

I just acquired a used F12 80 meter dipole with the linear-loading wires. I
have read everything I can find online about this design (mostly in Tower Talk)
and I have a few questions. Has anyone modeled this antenna with the linear
loading? I am curious as to how much L the linear loading wires present. I have
read reports of folks using coils instead of the LL wires. Has anyone published
real details of the modification, including any necessary element reinforcing
or trussing? Is there a source of the Alumoweld wire if I should put it back up
using the original design? The existing wires appear to be in usable shape, but
all of the clamps are rusted and I don't know what I will find when I remove
them. Any and all advice concerning this antenna is cheerfully solicited...
;-). 73, geo - n4ua
