Joe and all,
That is my favorite portable antenna too. In a pinch you don't need 3
supports, 1 will do to hold up the center. The 2 antenna wires and the
feedline CAN also be used as part of the guys to hold the center pole
upright and you have an inverted VEE - OR with one half of the antenna
p
This is basically a center fed ZEPP. When I was at T30NN and 3D2NN I used a
center fed ZEPP which consisted of a 44 foot piece of 300 ohm TV lead-in for
the feed line and the horizontal parts were stranded #18 wire each side being
23 feet. Using the K2/100 and KAT100 this antenna tuned 80m-10m
I recently built an 80/40 meter half-wave dipole using
the small 300 ohm ladder line, and it works very well.
This design is very light, easy to install and makes
for a very clean looking antenna. Mine is in an
inverted V configuration with the center at about 55
feet. Wonder if others have trie
