160-10 Meter W7FG True Ladder Line Open Wire Fed Dipole 240' Dipole 50' Feedline

Just what I wanted: well-made, good price, quickly shipped. Always been pleased with TLL, and they're the basis for my best wire antennas (as-is, or morphed into 8JKs or Lazy-Hs). A sturdy, low-loss system beats most things the average ham can use. They're pretty stealthy, and TLL makes 'em better and almost as cheap as I could.

This antenna is something else. One, its a monster in size AND a monster in signal. Compared side by side with an OCF windom my noise level on 80M is down 4 S units and the signals are up. Easy install, easy tune with a 4:1 that's recommended here. Spent some time on the phone with Gary during the install, full of information and very helpful. If you're on the fence, buy it.

I've used many different dipole type antennas ... put this one up about 35' and it's a rock crusher, no joke. I hunt Parks with it and in a Pileup I'm always on top of the pile, hardly ever call more than a call or two, barefoot, a commanding signal. If I can hear'em I can work'em Period. Get one you won't regret it.

If i can hear them i can work them

I find dipole is a excellent performer on 160-6 meters. I use a 4-1 balun to match open wire feed to antenna. Added bonus is antenna is flat on 6 meters. No tuner necessary. I have worked many stations on 6 meter FT8 mode. Antenna is only 20 feet off the ground. I will be putting up another 160-10 Meter W7FG True Ladder Line Open Wire Fed Dipole running in perpendicular direction. Thanks again. Kevin WB8AIZ

I ordered a 160-6 dipole to replace a home brew dipole fed with Window line. I figured the only difference would be not having to re-tune when it was raining or snowing. I was very surprised at how much better it worked. No more re-tuning for moisture, tuning is way easier and nowhere near as sharp as before. As for signals, several Hams who know my signal thought I was running my 500 watt amp when i was barefoot. I am very pleased with the overall performance! John, AF7JQ
