[Elecraft] Antennas for use with Elecraft T1 ATU

[thomaskd at rcn.com]

Stuart,

Thanks for the quick response.  For a field dipole I could use 
that in an inverted V format I assume?  I did purchase a 
collapsable pole to try some of those out.  If I used ladder line 
or twinlead....would I need a balun in-line before connecting to 
the T1?

If I understood you correctly, I could cut the dipole for 40M and 
then use the T1 to use it on other bands.  For my base setup I 
use a dipole setup and it works well on multiple bands....I am 
just not real clear on how to make this work on a portable 
setup with the T1 ATU.

Is there any special twinlead or ladderline I should stock for 
these projects?  I hope to try a bunch of antenna designs for 
different locations and learn from them...so I may as well stock 
some wire.

I think a recent QRP Quaterly that had a plan for a portable 
vertical...I will check it out.

Thanks again for all the advice.
