[TowerTalk] Multi-band dipoles

[David Jordan]

I'd be interested in any commentary regarding the COBRA 160-10m dipole.

The fella wants $125 for the wire and $80 for the 4:1 balun.  I'm thinking
one can make the antenna with ribbon feed-line and a third support wire and
feed it with 450 ohm ladder line to a coupler.

When did price equate to efficiency? There have been many antennas that 
are very expensive that just don't work very well.
