Testing my homemade 1:1 BALUN + dipole Antenna

[@stefanosanti2183]

If you put a 6:1 balun, you can build a great multiband dipole, a long arm of the dipole is three times longer than the small one, you can find exactly the measurements on the internet, but it's not difficult, just calculate the dipole for the lowest band, for example 80 meters, then calculate the length of the half-wave dipole, after which a short arm is a third of the long one, respecting the overall length as if it were a 1/2 dipole for the 80 meter band. and you practically have all the bands operating, without making additions in the cable or various traps. have fun. 73.

Hello Paul. I'm watching your video and I see that the little s-meters doesn't show the SWR. Is it because of the new firmware V1.1.8? I have the same problem. 73,s Paul.

How did you manage to get the X6100 SDR display on full screen?

[@geirha75]

I'm quite surprised the swr was so low all over the 20m band.

Hi Paul .. I am Tarık Ta2HT is a follower from Turkey.I like the videos you have made, but you have not opened the subtitle in this video. It is important for us that you put subtitles because my english is not that good, thanks to the translation, your videos gain meaning. thank you

Wow! I am in the LIVE, but i confirmed my callsign wrongly... It is not LZ1AY/Portable, but LZ1AYF/Portable! Very good antenna! I was able to hear you perfectly, but with QSB (no good propagation)! 73! P.S. Sorry, because of QSB i didn't hear your question, about my setup! I was using FT-991A, but i am using only 5W!

Have you actually measured the common mode impedance of your 1:1 balun? This is an important aspect of a 1:1 current balun.
