Hi Dave I've used a lot for your suggestions with inverted vees and vertical antennas and had success. Thank you. My next project is a 20m Delta loop vertical plane. I want to use 450 ohm window line. Should I use a 4:1 or 9:1 balun and a short run of coax to the auto tuner ldg 100 and the transiever is IC 7300. Your help is appreciated. 73!😊

I really appreciate your excellent and detailed explanations. Thanks and 73 from KA9PHI.

Would love to have that roof. Bond it all together, mount a 41 foot Vertical in the middle and feed it with a good quality high power rated remote antenna tuner. BAMM

How do you spell “reference”?
