I have a home brew 40/30/20 end fed half wave vertical I've used for several years with my K1. 33 ft long and supported with a MFJ fiberglass pole, it has a loading coil 6 ft from each end. 20 m with the coil shorted, 30 m with a tap selected and 40 m with the entire coil in the circuit. You have to haul the antenna down to change bands but that's easy with the MFJ pole.
The tuner is a tuned tank with a 6 turn link tapped on every turn. The coil and link are wound on a 1 in. toroid. It will tune the antenna to 1:1 SWR on all 3 bands. It will handle about 15 watts before it starts to arc. :-) I can put together the details if interested. 72, Brian, K0DTJ > On Feb 22, 2014, at 2:59, PGSchreier <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi gang, > > I would like to find a 40/30/20 meter end-fed dipole I can run with my KX1 > and its tuner.
