Question for the group....I am erecting a dipole which I plan to use for =
multi-band HF operations.  The dipole will be fed with 300 ohm =
ladderline.  A 1:1 choke balun will provide for the transition between =
the unbalanced output of my rig to the balanced feedline.   I can make =
the dipole any length between 120' up to 150'.  Is there an optimum or =
"best" length which makes the most sense??  Appreciate any thoughts or =
opinions.  Jim N4XWA
