Hi Randall, You can connect a random wire antenna directly to the T1 (then toss it into a tree, etc.) without a feedline. But you'll need to add a ground counterpoise wire, too; use at least one wire cut to 1/4 wavelength on the lowest band in use.
If you want to run a balanced feedline to the antenna, then a BL1 or BL2 would be required. The counterpoise or ground wire may then be optional, but is still recommended. 73, Wayne N6KR On Nov 6, 2011, at 5:59 PM, Randall wrote: > > I'm assuming when using the Elecraft T1 Miniature ATU with a wire > antenna, > dipole or long wire, the BL2, 1:1 & 4:1 (switched) Balun, is > required. > Is this correct ? > > thanks > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
