[PVRCNC] n4cwz -fan dipole plan

[Howie Hoyt]

Hi Dave -

If you have an analyzer, cut em long and tune.

If not, still cut them long and sample your tx across the freq range to
tune.
Start with 80m -Also keep in mind that trimming one band may slightly
affect the other diue to capacitive coupling.
btw,coupling may be reduced by running 40 & 80 at right angles (if
possible).

73, Howie
