[Elecraft] O.T. Antenna suggestions needed for JOTA operation.

[Martin AC6RM]

feed that 44foot doublet with twinlead into a balun into the tuner.  it
won't let you down.  I used a SCG239 to tune this antenna as a vee (I
don't have the elecraft AT unit) on field day and made contact after
contact.  the cool/wierd thing about that doublet design is that the
pattern at about a 22-or-so degree angle of radiation is the same for
80-10.  i played with this in multiNEC.  it's definitely wierd, and
definitely works.

good luck om es 73,

p.s. good deal on JOTA; take lots of pix and post them.  this is nothing
but a great deed -- those scouts will never forget.  a flock of girl
scouts showed up at our field day one year -- it was totally the neatest
thing.  see pix at http://www.ac6rm.net/fd2000/gs179.html  (and other 2000
fd pix at http://www.ac6rm.net/fd2000/fd2000.html) -- that's fred, kf6hqc,
with the blue head-dress.  the girls had a lota fun.  pix taken at mojave
narrows regional park which is near victorville in socal fd2000.
