Hi all,
The ARRL 160 contest got me interested in 160. I would like to add loading coils and additional wire to my 80M dipole at my QTH in Maine to see how that might fly. (It would make it an 80/160 dipole.) Yes – it won’t fly very well, and be narrow band, but it will be easy to do and better than nothing. I have looked in the ARRL Antenna Book and Low Band DXing and have found little of help. I do have one article from July 1992 QST by W8NX that looks to be helpful.
Any ideas or pointers to how this might be accomplished?
