[Elecraft] Question for Wayne about your OCF Dipole

[Edward R Cole]

A few years ago, at a previous home with 5 ac, I considered an 80m 
full wave horizontal loop fed with ladder line (450-ohm) but coming 
thru the house wall would require hefty insulators so I considered 
running parallel coax as Wayne described and have an parallel tuner 
on the wall.  Theoretical loop Z is 140-ohms so I was thinking 
parallel RG-11.

Still have the big variable caps needed for the tuner, but I bought a 
old Drake MN2000 and now have the KXPA100 with atu for the tribander 
and inverted-V; Inverted-L has a tapped base coil.

Well, short story: "in 2006 we moved to property with heavily 
forested 1-3/4 ac so loop idea was abandoned and I put up an 
inverted-L between two towers separated 130 foot".
