Re: Antenna recommendation for 40 and 80M bands
I have been using an inverted V dipole for 80m now, and it is working OK. I contacted a station in North London last night, and also a portable station in Orkney, Isle of Wyre with population of 9 people on 80m too. I was excited to be able to contact these stations.
No balun, just half wave dipole in inverted V config.
No RF feedback in the shack, and SWR is 1:3, but tunes up to 1:1.5
This antenna tunes up for 20M as well, but not good on 40M for some reason.
