IMGP1615

Overall view of the dipole. Note that it is mounted as a horizontal-V, with tripod at the right supporting the center feed-point of the dipole,

with the resonators barely visible above the right-center of the picture. The far mount point is on the vertical silver post near the center

of the picture, and the near mount point is on the dark pipe at the left of the picture. The antenna showed less than a 3:1 SWR on both

75m and 40m, so could probably use some pruning to tune it. The lengths are as follows: Feed-point to resonator: 10m; resonator to

end: 6.7m. It is fed with standard-grade RG58 coaxial cable. It is probably slightly too long for the upper end of 75m and 40m where

we intend to operate.
