Fed with open wire or ladder-line your 20 meter performance will be 2 
half waves in phase and when properly matched is supposed to give you 3 
db improvement broadside to the wire.

The handbook says a 40m dipole fed with ladder line will be 2 half waves in phase on 20, and have 1.8 db gain. My coax fed 20m dipole is 10db better than my coax fed 40m dipole on 20, will open wire feeders and a tuner really improve it that much?de Dick NY1E
