Half wave for 80m (~132 feet) will be half wave on 80m and two half waves on 40m, four half waves on 20m, eight half waves on 10m etc...

So there may be some gain on the higher bands. - If you want to use it on any particular frequency, just cut the half wavelength wire for that frequency or any frequency from 3-30MHz. Wire length can be calculated by the following formulas: Length (feet)= 468/Frequency (MHz) or Length (meters)=142.5/Frequency (MHz) Always cut a wire a bit longer to allow for tuning to your desired frequency.

Tuning depends on height above ground and nearby objects. There are so many ways to install the wire so experiment away. Such an antenna will not need radials and in most cases NO Tuner at all.

You can use it as vertical against good radial counterpoise. 4.2m (13.8ft) Counterpoise at the lug next to the SO-239 connector is recommended. - The Coax braid must be earthed at the rig end.

- Long wires tend to collect electrostatic charge (usually when the weather is stormy) which can produce ESD (electrostatic discharge) at the end of your cable and damage your equipment. - If the transformer is used with an external tuner in conjunction with a single wire antenna, power should be reduced on those bands that show an SWR above 1.2 without the tuner. Transmitting too much power or with a high SWR will cause RF power to overheat the Unun.
