de WB2CPN My favorite antenna was a dipole about 160 feet long. Center fed with ladder line. Used AH-2 and later AH-4 and 1:1 Balun. Balun and tuner not more that 6 inches apart. Worked well on all HF bands, including 160, but I have no idea how squirley the pattern must have been on the higher frequencies. 73 Clete
