I don't believe this idea will work. The SWR on 15 m will be OK near the feed point but will be really high at the end of the balanced line that connects to the coax. Doug N0HH Something I have suggested to many is to add a sloping 15 meter dipole, (2 ea 11 foot wires) to the feedpoint of their G5RV. That should give you a better match on 15 m while leaving the other bands near the original performance. The old concept of paralleling dipoles for multi band coverage. -Stuart Rohre K5KVH |
