[TowerTalk] Ladder Line Fed Dipole Issue

[Tony]

All:

I manged to tweak the length of the 300 ohm ladder line to where the SWR 
dropped to 1:1 in the middle of the 80 meter band. The SWR decreased on 
40 through 10 as well so I can now use my limited range auto-tuner on 
all bands. The short 110 foot dipole doesn't seem to be an issue on 80.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

>> I have an 80 meter dipole fed with 300 ohm ladder line that needed to be moved to a different location. The antenna is 110 feet long and the ladder line is attached to a DX Engineering 1:1 tuner balun with a short 10 foot run of coax. The length of the ladder line is cut to an odd multiple of the 80 meter wavelength.
