Stuart, Thanks for the quick response. For a field dipole I could use that in an inverted V format I assume? I did purchase a collapsable pole to try some of those out. If I used ladder line or twinlead....would I need a balun in-line before connecting to the T1?
If I understood you correctly, I could cut the dipole for 40M and then use the T1 to use it on other bands. For my base setup I use a dipole setup and it works well on multiple bands....I am just not real clear on how to make this work on a portable setup with the T1 ATU. Is there any special twinlead or ladderline I should stock for these projects? I hope to try a bunch of antenna designs for different locations and learn from them...so I may as well stock some wire. I think a recent QRP Quaterly that had a plan for a portable vertical...I will check it out. Thanks again for all the advice. 73 de Keith KB3ILS _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
