That 'Single-Wire' Antenna Tuner Can Feed Other Transmission Systems, Too

摘要

QCarl, K8CM, asks: Referring to the question about feeding an 80 meter dipole on other bands raised by WB8ZTP in the February 2012 column, I wonder if you would go a bit further. I'm curious how to interface a tuner designed to match single wire antennas to such a dipole while employing low loss window line from the tuner to the antenna. How might that configuration affect radiation patterns on 60 and 40 meters and on bands above 40 meters. Would it be reasonable to expect such a configuration to be useable on 160 meters?
