I am very much enjoying reading the discussions on wire antennas. I
have something I have been trying to figure out how to do for some time,
and thought this might be a good place to ask.
I have an 80m loop, up about 60 or 70 feet. Currently it is fed with
300 ohm line. All I could find at the time, as what I had left in 450
ohm line (after I helped my elderly neighbor get his antenna back up,
and gave him some of the ladder line) was not long enough.
Additionally, I went to the local hamfest this weekend and could not
find a single vendor selling ladder line, but I digress. I have
approximately 290 feet of wire in the air in a horizontal, triangular
configuration, fed with (soon to be) ladder line, a balun (1:1) and then
coax to the shack. Is it possible to switch this (seems possible from
what I have read) to a 160m antenna by taking one side to ground at the
balun and feeding the other side? If this is possible, is there a way
to do this remotely?
