TT: Been reading Bill Meeker's OCF dipole saga, and communicating privately with him. Jack Belrose, VE2CV, wrote a series of articles for QST over 10 years ago, analysing the OCF dipole, and designin

work may prove helpful, as well. We better be careful here. A current balun is always useful as an "un-un", but an "un-un" is not always a useful current balun. Some un-uns have no common mode isola

Yup...complete agreement, Tom. The line isolators will give you a couple hundred ohms, at best. My solution...and it's a seriously compromised one...is to use clip-ons which are 2x the amount of what

Samir: First, you WILL need a tuner to use an OCF dipole. They have many merits, and some demerits, which you can read on W8JI's site, or in the white paper on the Yankee Clipper Contest Club website

It is not necessarily true that a tuner will be required, except for on the 15 meter band. I am personally running the Buckmaster OCF dipole, which they claim uses a 6:1 balun of a non-descript type.

Never miss a chance to offer an uninformed opinion or dumb question! What exactly does unbalanced mean in the context of the OCF feedline? The Zepp, which has worked honorably for years, must be as u

I've written extensively on this and given talks at ham events. Both the writing and slides for the talks are on my website, so I won't repeat them here. If you care about the answer, read them. What

. Funny that you'd think those who don't like the OCF design would instead be touting "commercial stuff with funny matching devices and impressive names." Home-made dipole, home-made choke. Fan dipol

Another brilliant post, Kelly. The OCF dipole has a varying pattern with deep nulls on some bands and it's difficult to choke. However it loads on multiple bands and you can work some stations with i
