Couldn't tune my 80 meter doublet on 160 until I added external capacitors to the back. Had to add .003uf to get it to tune.

I am not sure if I changed the inductance that it would help or not. I am using it with the Delta. Paul, KD3JF John Huf; /archives//html/TenTec/2007-12/msg00129.html (7,861 bytes)

I have a Drake MN-7 (cosmetically almost a perfect match to my Corsair). It loads the my 80m coax-fed dipole on 160m, but not perfectly.

I got tired of re-tuning when it rained so I cut 2/3 of the webs out of the ladder line. Works great for me.

First, consider a FAN dipole, which is very easy to build and works really well with coax. My 80/40 fans work well on 30M and 17M too.
