Thank you everybody for thinking and commenting about the folded dipole twin lead question. K1FZ thought he remembered it in a "hints and kinks" article, so it probably was not a dream I had in the hospital.
I try to stay away from 50 ohms and coax of all ilk, except for using RG8 to run HV around the shack. I seem to have a goodly snarl of old TV twin lead in my storage cabin, so will construct a "standard" sized dipole, link couple it to my antenna tuner, and be done with it. thank you all again mike w7dra ____________________________________________________________ Veteran Home Loans Apply for VA Loans with competitive interest rates at Military.com. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/50c61b1b31de81b1a5a36st04vuc _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - topband@contesting.com
