I just picked up a dipole fed with ladder line. Plan to use it for FD. The antenna has 100 feet of parallel feed (window ladder line) and there is no way I'll need that much. I don't want to cut the feed line because next time I use the temporary antenna I may need more. So what do I do with the excess? If it was coax, I'd just pile it up on the ground. Maybe I should park the Element further away so I can stretch the feed line out straight from the rig to the antenna. I could maybe use tomb stones to hold the feed line off the ground ... :-) - Keith KD1E - - K2 5411 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
