Re: [IRCA] Antenna Options

[Gerald Wolczanski <jerrywlinux@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

An 80 meter dipole works fine on all the ham bands when fed with open
wire feed-line and an appropriate tuner.  On the MW bands, the two
feeders can be tied together and the antenna treated like a top-loaded
vertical.  A good ground will help and the antenna will need to be
tuned.  Much has been written about MW tuners.  I used a simple series
tuned circuit.

I could put up an 80m Dipole, but I might even see about a 160m Dipole. Any thoughts or opinions on the matter would be appreciated. Does anyone else use just a single antenna?
