Since you didn't mention a balun, and I assume you are using one, the
open wire line will exhibit less loss. That helps. 1.8 dB(what)?

Subject: [TowerTalk] 40-10 meter wire antenna
I'm in a limited space location, I'm looking for a wire antenna to use
on 40-10 meters. The handbook says a 40m dipole fed with ladder line
will be 2 half waves in phase on 20, and have 1.8 db gain. My coax fed
20m dipole is 10db better than my coax fed 40m dipole on 20, will open
wire feeders and a tuner really improve it that much?de Dick NY1E
