[AK-VHF] 80m Folded Dipole Up

[Ed Cole]

I got the 80m folded dipole hung on my tower at 36-feet, today.  Using 
450-ohm latter line and a 33-foot feed line to a DX Engineering 4:1 
Balun.  Ends are about 16-foot above ground.

I cut it long and tunes at 3.45 MHz for 1:1 SWR, but my Elecraft 100w 
amp/auto-tuner tunes it with ease.  I will trim it for 3.8 MHz.

Next summer I will add wires for 40m.

be nice to operate on 80m nets, again.

During the winter I will build my 1200w WW6PQL HF/6m amp.
