Don,
How did you get your dipole up 110 feet? Is it strung between towers, or
do
you have some gigantic trees in your yard? It took me a long time just to
get mine up 35-40 feet up in my trees using a slingshot-fishing reel combo.

DON - you were ROARING IN to Florida on 160m a few months
back. Strongest signal on the band. I had assumed that you were
using a full-sized vertical. Seriously!
I was considering a homebrew Carolina Windom for my
soon-to-be-smaller-sized lot.

The dipole is cut for 80m, but I can load it up on 160 as a quarterwave
dipole
What kind of crappy antennas are you using, i.e., doublets fed with coax,
open wire lines, etc., or end-fed wires? Or, some combination of types
maybe?
Rather that building up a bunch of tuners you might consider putting your
efforts into erecting a set of antennas that all worked

The antenna inventory at ARS N3RHT:
Radio works 80M Windom, one end

My two cents is that no traps I have ever used held up long
(days/weeks) under any sort of AM, except the butternut antenna, which does
not use real traps, but some other crazy setup.
All the trap dipole stuff crapped out even

What you have in mind is probably the best idea. I'm too am not
sure what is meant by Crappy Antenna.
Tuning an 80 meter dipole fed with coax on 40 meters is a definite
NoNo because the antenna will represent many thousands of ohms Z to the
coax and depending on the length of
10 matches
