[Elecraft] RE: Effective Antennas for use with K2 ATU

[Stuart Rohre]

Nicolas, you will never go wrong with the simple dipole.  With your
restricted space, you might have to bend a dipole to fit, but that should be
considered as opposed to a less effective antenna.

The 44 foot dipole plus the tuner hits a number of good DX bands.  You can
bend it to fit your space.

Running the feeder crosswise thru some foam tubing placed under the window
sash is one way to handle the feedline entry.

If using twin lead (flat balanced line), you can simply lay it across the
window sill, and cushion the crossing again with foam protection, or not
close the window completely.  Put a locking "L" bracket above the sash to
prevent the window being raised off the crossing to preserve security.
