Is there a way to connect a long wire to a BL-2?
I vaguely remember seeing a post re: this kind of setup used as a way to get
a wider range of matches without using a longer wire antenna.
My rig is a KX1 and where I am going to be backpacking makes it impractical
to use a balanced line setup.
I have a 28 foot fishing pole that makes great matches on the upper bands
with a 28 foot wire attached to the KX1.
I have searched the web and the archives but could not find anything
relevant.
Basically the question is to which two of the three output connections on
the BL-2 do I connect a long wire antenna and its counterpoise(s) too? A and
B, A and GND, B and GND or.... well you get the idea.
