Hi
I have a 50 ft tower just ready to throw up something to operate.
Cost is the problem but I have a lot of parts to build. I want to put up a
dipole (I have a manual all band tuner) and my question is should feed it
with ladder line or feed it with coax and then run each leg about 68 ft .
Second idea is I have an old aluminum omni antenna that used to have 3 traps
within it, however at that height it will come down quickly as this antenna
is meant to be on the ground (no ground planes) so I want to make this omni
as long as practically possible and tune it to utilize it as best possible.
Any suggestions? This is really all I have to work with. Only want to climb
this thing a couple times and hope its good for the winter.
Thanks
73s
