[Elecraft] Slightly OT-5 Mcs. Antenna requirements...

Thu Jun 19 14:39:01 2003

I was curious about this matter that was announced in the W1AW bulletin - if
I'm running QRP into a compromise antenna (i.e. Buddipole) - will I have to
model it!? That doesn't make sense considering the fact that I'm running no
more than 10W - and the Buddipole (which will soon have an 80-30m coil) isn't
better than a full dipole.

Your thoughts please (maybe not on the list - this is already a sensitive
issue).

Thanks
- Daniel
