Hi All

We're getting to go on a 2 week camping vacation in a couple of  weeks.  I 
want to take an all band antenna along, so I made a dipole fed with 100 feet 
of 300 ohm ribbon (not a center fed zepp--don't want to get that thread 
going again :-).

What I was wondering, what happens if I put the antenna up 50 feet and coil 
up the rest of the ribbon (I'd rather not cut it every time we get to a 
different campground) where it comes into the camper?  Does it act like a 
big choke or something?  Thanks and 73
