One of the things that has been hinted at is the OCF dipole. One of the really great attributes is that you can adjust the matching impedance of the antenna by moving the feed point away from center. If you have a SWR of 1.5:1 and the R is 75 and the j is 0, move the feed point away from center and you can find 75 ohms. Of course you will have to address the 75 ohm, but the match will be 1:1.

A friend once told me, "Almost none of us has a balanced dipole." What he meant is, few of us are lucky enough to be able to put a dipole high up and completely in the clear - most of us have to put it up where we can, and one side will be closer to houses, trees, gutters, chain link fences..... than the other. Probably true! 73 Ray K2HYD ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to farrerfo...@yahoo.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
