- This may be a bit off-topic - If so please forgive me: I'm working with a fellow who has problems loading an 80M loop antenna with ladder line and a tuner. His antenna is about 380ft and I think that

- Phil: Try changing the length of the transmission line. You may need only a few feet, however you can "rotate" the impedance by adding or subtracting about 30' of open line. Ron N6IE www.N6IE.com ___

- I would change the length of the feed line by 20 or so feet. Either add or take away. I do hope the feed line is reasonably straight an if there is any excess is not in a "coil" somewhere. Also, are

- You add the extra ladder line at the shack end and hang it under the eaves loosely looped as others stated. May only take 5 or ten feet to change the impedance enough to get a good match well within

- I think you will find the whip, loading coil and capacity hat make a series resonant circuit on 80 meters. Much like a base loaded mobile whip and coil. That is will make most any short length (much
