Okay boys and girls.
the antenna project is done
I have a 160 meter doublet feed with 600 ohm line. 130ish feet on each side.
Followed the antenna suggestions from everyone and now have it connected to a
1:1 balun with a one foot hunk of coax to the Ten Tec 239 coupler.
Everything works fine------ except for 160 meter
I can't find a tuning solution for any freq on that band below 1.995 mhz.
Shortening the antenna feedline is not possible, it has to reach the coupler.
I don't like the idea of adding more length to the feedline, but looks like I
may have to.
How much?
What about lengthening the wire on the ends of the antenna?
Make it shorter, (the overall length of the antenna)
The 239 can find a solution on 1.995 (SWR 2:1) but the selector shows the best
match on the high Z side
okay, it's been too quiet here, so this should heat things up
