HF Antenna
Offset Fed Dipole
September 2013

One Saturday my son Jonathan (ex KA1PQV) came over. Using a sling shot picked up at a local Walmart and parachute cord bought at Nearfest we were able to put up the 80 meter offeset fed dipole that served so well for years in San Jose up in the trees of New Hampshire. Without any adjusting the SWR looks good, nothing the internal tuners in the TS570 and K2 can't match.
