[TenTec] Eagle Tuner

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Good idea, Bob. That must be what he uses.  Otherwise he would need a tuner.

But it would have to have the wires spread quite a ways apart; using 450 Ohm
window line for the radiator wouldn't cut it.

A sleeve dipole might also work, but I haven't tried that one yet.
I don't have the space here to put either of these up.

A true folded dipole fed with open wire line and a 4:1 balun used as it is
supposed to be used.
