[Antennas] Re; 450 Ladder

[solo22@gbncentral.com]

I'm sure this has probably been stated, but cutting "every other"
"un-window" out helps.  Personally, after expirementing with many G5RV
types, I went back to multi-band, un-resonent trapped, coax fed
dipoles.  I'm sure glad I did! The one I'm using now is a design by W8NX
called "An Improved Mulitband Trap Dipole Antenna.  It resonates the
whole antenna on 75 (25kc bandwidth)(100kc with tuner), flat across most
of 40 without tuner, 17 & 12 meters with tuner.  I feed mine with coax
through a 1:1 5kw (I like QRP :-)  ) current balun  purchased from
Radioworks.  This article is available from ARRL.ORG.
  Good luck with your ladder-line antennas and Merry Christmas.  K6ZL
