Fred held up a broad-banded HF off-center dipole with a large balun in the general class this weekend that seemed to work decently well for most of the bands I might be interested in. I didn’t write it down but probably should have. It may be that I am not calling it the right thing.
Hello Collin,
Congratulations on your General!
The antenna was a Buckmaster OCF Dipole. It comes in several different versions and power levels. The 80m and 40m versions are good choices. You can learn more about it here. You can order one at DXengineering as well as coax and other odds and ends to put it up. The high-power 80m version along with LMR-400uF coax would be a great combination for your HF station.
We did a Tech Night recently on Simple HF Wire Antennas. You can find it on our Tech Night Page (don’t forget to login first). The Tech Night will give you a little more information on the OCF Dipole as well as lots of good information about how to put up wire antennas.
Fred, AB1OC
