[Antennas] End Fed Zep

Sun Oct 17 19:37:35 EDT 2004

I am contemplating an end fed zep antenna. I have 110ft between two tall
trees (30ft), and one tree is close to the shack. I was thinking of running
balanced line (300-450ohm) from the antenna, underground in pcv pipe to a
MFJ-949E tuner. The rig is a Yaesu FT-747GX running barefoot. A center fed
antenna is possible, but I'd prefer to run the twin lead at the end, down a
tree, to hide it from sight. I'm not experienced in antenna
construction/performance, and would appreciate your thoughts on this antenna
setup. I am looking for 10-80 meters. Thanks in advance.
