I purchased “The Swiss Dipole” antenna on eBay for $21.00, I have to add the feed line but at 37ft it will make a great RX antenna for my secondary tuner on the Mark V, or the primary one since they are switchable.
Now I have to figure out how to properly solder the RG8X feed line, not sure if I should use a 4:1 Balun or not. When I get back from vacation I’m going to contact the seller and discuss the best option.
I'm wondering how you connected your feed line to the swiss dipole antenna. I also have one of these and am wondering if I should solder the feed straight to it, use a connector, or use a balun.

I have one of these Swiss Dipoles, actually I think I have two. As yet I've never had a chance to use them, can you tell me if you used direct feed or a balun.
ReplyDeleteHow was the performance, it has received some scathing reviews elsewhere, just wondered what your experiences with it were.
