Re: [Elecraft] Another dipole with a simpler tuner and feedline

My favorite dipole antenna is a 20 meter extended double zepp, fed with balanced line (450 ohm ladder line for home use or 300 ohm twinlead for portable/qrp operation). At 44 feet per leg, it can be set up as a horizontal doublet, a sloping doublet or an inverted vee. What you end up with is

Re: [Elecraft] Another dipole with a simpler tuner and feedline

Inverted L for 20: Have your horizontal lamda/2 wire fed at the other end. Make the vertical feeding wire (single) the same length. Voltage feed it on 20 and 40 meters with tuned circuit. Current feed on 80 meters against 20 meter radial. Horizontal wire on 10 meters height is at least 6 dB

Re: [Elecraft] Another dipole with a simpler tuner and feedline

You just described the antenna I take camping with me and my K2. I have an ATU on the original top so it works nicely. The flex weave makes it very nice for throwing up and taking down. I can tie knots in the wire and they come out fine. I tie a sheet bend to some mason's line and take a
