[Elecraft] ATU vs. External Tuner

[Dale Putnam]

The balanced antenna, center fed, with balanced line, is the lower loss system of many. The fun part... is that while looking for inexpensive feedline, I've found that the "poor, fast replaced" speaker lead wire... you know the stuff, clear, copper, and only two conductors, work out very nicely for an antenna. In fact... a broad banded, dipole can be fashioned out of that wire, with the two elements having the ends twisted together, and still using just one run of the wire for feed, works right nice. The balanced line feeds through walls and up past the insulation nicely too. And the T-1 tunes it real nice. --... ...--Dale - WC7S in Wy
