Larry,
Instead of making resonant dipoles, cut one 44 feet or 88 feet long and feed
with the 450ohm line. The 88 footer will work 80 to 10 and with the feed
line shorted togather in will get out on 160. A much more versatale ant.
than separate resonate dipoles.
Coax and QRP go togather well. Have run RG8 and REG213 in the past and am
using RG8X at the present time.
Have fun and 73,

Wow! is a good word to describe my Argo V. Currently, I am using a 450
ohm bed antenna. I have bought a new 20 meter beam and ill construct a
couple of resonant dipoles. Can I get by ok with the regular old RG 58
coax on my less than 100 ft runs? I am used to ladder wire and having an
amp; so this low power installation is a new experience for me. There are
so many varieties of coax out there that I think it would be wise to hear
from the voice of experience...Larry GreenbergN5BEA
