[Elecraft] OCF Antennas and Baluns

[John C Ceccherelli]

If I have a choice of a symetrical dipole or OCF for multiband operation,
the OCF wins hands down.  I'd rather deal with coax instead of ladder
line--especially if you have to stuff it in a backpack.

Unfortunately, where I tend to travel, there's usually no natural support
structure so I use a vertical.  At home I have an 80 meter OCF which is
very versitile and a good performing antenna.  It's nice to be able to work
80, 40, 20, 17, 15 and 10 meters without kicking in the tuner.
