Great antenna Don (see my earlier posting ;-) ) .
I just thought that I would add that I found that the teflon coated
stuff doesn't
like to stay twisted so I resorted to putting small pieces of heat
shrink tubing
every 6 or so inches on the feedline portion.
With 35 feet of the twisted pair feedline it tunes readily on all
bands 40
thru 10 -
I am using about 28 feet of feedline and I have had some problems
matching
it with some tuners on 40M so I will try adding about 7 feet of
feedline and
see how that works .... thanks.
