Or the inverse as I did, cut my T for the low end of the band. Then
three series capacitors with PCB relays to short each individually
(none, 1, 2, or 3) yielded nearly full band coverage <1.5:1 swr. My T
is 85' to top and a 50:25 ohm TLT is a close match, then the capacitor
stack follows. Caps and relays fit in a weather tight plastic box about
3x5x8". Of course the resonance resistance and capacitor values depend
I did exactly this for an 80/75 meter dipole. Worked perfectly.
I am planning to do this same thing for my 160 meter vertical
when I get around to it.
