[Antennas] Ladder line antenna

ED,
A McCoy dipole...  center fed.... Any length...  140' works nice cuz Radio Shack sells
#14 stranded in 70' rolls, hi, but shorter will do well, but do make the flat-top longer than your ladder line.    Tunes all bands with a good tuner and 4:1 balun, or,.... no
balun is required if you use a link coupled tuner such as a Viking Matchbox.
Simple and works great.    Very efficient and effective.   Write me if you want more info on my experience with this simple design.
Good luck & 73,    Les,  W�OJH
