[SESprint] Fw: NA Sprint CW KU8E LP

[John Laney]

Bert:  Jeff put up one for us to use M/S in IARU RS last year at my QTH.
It is center fed with 400 ohm ladder line.  It is fed through an antenna
tuner which has a provision for that type of line.  It isn't actually
just for 80 and 40.  It is an all band antenna. Jeff told me that W4RNL
says on his website that, if you can put up only one antenna, it should
be this one.  Actually, he may have been referring to one twice this
length, but we didn't have that much room here.  With the antenna tuner,
you can tune all bands, but it doesn't get out on 160.  It is a big
dummy load on 160.  It outperforms my dipole at about 10 feet lower in
the direction it favors (off the side), but the dipole runs the other
way and outperforms the zepp to the west.  To the northeast, off the
side of the zepp, we worked nearly every HQ station on 40 meters SSB
split running low power and most on the first call.  I was amazed.

73,


John.
