[TowerTalk] Broadbanding a dipole

[David Jordan]

Hi Jim,

...I use a cage 1/4 wave vertical on 40 meters.  Using two hulla hoops 
and 12 wires.  The vertical has a usable bandwidth of about 1.5Mhz.
...I use 2" irrigation tubing for a dipole on 40 meters.  The dipole has 
a usable bandwidth of about .5Mhz

73,
