[TowerTalk] 40-10 meter wire antenna

[john at kk9a.com]

I would either build a fan dipole or buy a trapped dipole. The Diamond W8010
dipole also works on 80m.

I'm in a limited space location, I'm looking for a wire antenna to use on
40-10 
meters. 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
