[TowerTalk] Springs for erecting loops nd dipoles

[Tom Osborne]

Hi Jack

I see someone already answered you on this one, but the end fed zepp is a 
winner.  It works best if you have a open wire tuner, like the old Johnson 
Matchbox type.  I worked a bunch of countries on 20 meters (>200) with 300 
watts and an end fed zepp.

There is actually no magic length to make the antenna.  The more wire you 
can get up, the better.

Although nowadays, with the window ladder line, it is pretty darn light and 
wouldn't put much strain in the middle of the antenna.  73 and GL
