[TowerTalk] phased dipole matching

[M. Kent Miller]

Hi  Danny,

I' ve been using variations of a phased dipole system for over 20 years at
several different qth's. At present, it is installed with one 130 foot tower
used as a reflector.        I use heavy duty 300 ohm twin-lead as the
phasing line.
It works quite well and is relatively broad-banded too.
I 'll be glad to send you details if you like; reply direct.

73,
Kent -K4MK
