[K3PZN-List] CW Question

[Curt Milton]

Kyle


A coax fed dipole only presents a good match on the band it is cut for, and also for odd harmonics.  Also, how the two wires are oriented gets into the act.  If the two wires get too close to each other the result is not so nice.  As the earth gets into the act, the wire length needs to be adjusted. Also, a homemade dipole works just like a store bought one, so no need to buy one already made.  A 20m dipole will not work much on lower bands like 40m, nor is it good for the rig.

Ok good I just wanted to make sure before I got fined or worse lost my license. Having tons of fun with this hobby. I can't get the 20m inverted V to tune to 40 is that normal? Planning on purchasing an actual 20m wire eventually to replace this home brew one that I built even though it seems to work good. Tuning is finicky some times.
