[Elecraft] UPDATE KPA1500 on 160M

[Adrian]

Ok on that. I have good success with true OCF (not windom) antennas and 
Balun Designs 4:1 current baluns in the past.

These days I just use apex high delta loops with direct feed via a 
lmr240 multi-wound toroid choke at feedpoint for great results.

Bottom corner fed (vertically polarised), so feed-line length and losses 
are kept minimal . I find this type of antenna very quiet,

and neighbour friendly in all respects.


It would have been interesting to see how a 4116 performed on yours.
