All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I'd love to hear the results of A/B testing of the two on 20.
If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
The 40m dipole would be a full wave length on 20. Very high impedance and a bitch to match, if feeding with coax. Even if you could match it, the patterns are drastically different between the 2 antennas. It would depend on what target you're trying to hit in the first place.I'd love to hear the results of A/B testing of the two on 20.

I have no problems tuning mine with a manual tuner. The nulls are there...no doubt..
