Guys,
I hope this is an acceptable question for this forum.
I would like some feedback on a 40/80meter trapped dipole. I have thought
about making some coax traps and just never seem to get around to it, so I
figure I'll just buy one. Could you guys point me in a good direction. I
only have about 100' and can only get the antenna up around 30' or so. I
have a Carolina Windom, put it just don't work very well. Is that just all
I can expect for such a low antenna, or would a trapped dipole be better.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. BTW I have my beam has a 21' boom, but
I am not sure where to even start to try and load it.
TIA
Eric
