Topband: Multiband Dipole

[ojl@nerpa.net (OJ Lougheed)]

With the discussion on the QRP-L reflector on wire beams and TV twin-lead
antennas... Just a thought... Anyone ever build a "shortened dual-band"
twin-lead 160/80 (or other combination - 80/40/15?) dipole with linear
loading on the lower (top)band? The idea would be to tie the 2 wires
together at the center (feed with coax) AND at the ends, and then clip one
of the wires at the 80 M resonance point. The length being calculated for
the linear loading on the lower band...
