I have a 160 meter inverted-L which I have used as a longwire (which it really is) and have had very good luck with 130 feet of wire....and 17 radials. The KAT100 will match it very well on 160, 80, 40 and 30 meters. I have worked several stations using the antenna on those bands, but have not used anything higher than 30 meters since I have a tri-bander up at 65 feet. A longwire is a good antenna if there is a good counterpoise (ground or radials or a large body of salt water). I have played around with them using a simple 365 pf BC cap and a coil of wire and I can load one every time. Lee - K0WA
Common sense is in short supply - get some and use it. If you can't find any common sense, ask for help from somebody that has some common sense. - Lee Buller _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
