I use a 260 foot doublet fed with 600 ohm tuned feeder (4" spacing #14
wire). It is run as an NVIS antenna - up 26 feet and flat. The K3
auto-tuner and the KAT500 both tune it very well for 160/80/40/30
meters. I do not use it on the upper bands. The feedline is about 25
feet long and is terminated with a BalunDesigns 4:1 balun. 10 feet of
RG213 runs from the balun into the house to the switch/lightning panel.
If you have the optional RX board and AM filter, the antenna works great
for the broadcast band too.
