Reference my earlier post, my 80M dipole shows a 1:1 SWR at ~3800. With the 238 in BYPASS the SWR shown on the external meter is 4:1. Antenna is fed with ~75 ft of RG-213. The tuner will easily match

Absolutely. Balanced feeds are easy, low loss and very inexpensive. I have both coax fed and balanced fed. The balanced fed antenna line comes all the way to the tuner, through the attic, eve vent, d

I like Stuart's idea of adding some length to the antenna. Don't know why I had forgotten that back in my novice days I had an 80 meter dipole inverted "v". Running an HW 101 that I got from N4NT. Wh

BETTER YET: Cut the antenna for about 3550 kHz. Calculate how much shorter each leg will be for resonance at 3800. (abt. 4 feet). Mount the end insulator of each leg 4' from the end of the wire. Dril

OCF antennas have inherently high imbalance, which makes their feedline part of the antenna, which makes them pick up lots of noise (and also puts RF in the shack). They are not easy to choke, becaus

Jim, all things are relative. We don't all have room for a tower and beam like you do. In fact here in Europe, very few people do. Less than 1% of us. The OCF is about the only way to get a single wi

The OCF is about the only way to get a single wire to work on many bands, unless you feed with openwire. It's not an "either-or." Look at the links on my qrz page to see what I did in Chicago, very s

Here's a reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G5RV_Antenna Now looking at the lengths, it is no more than a 1/2 wave antenna on 80M with a coax feed at the center. {51' + 51' + 34 = 136'} While th
