How high should a 10 meter dipole antenna be?
How high should a 10 meter dipole antenna be? A 10 meter dipole would be around 16 ft. plus or minus. Why would you want to shorten what is already a short antenna? A helically wound antenna is certainly possible, but most designs I've seen are for short verticals. How long is a 10m dipole antenna? The Wire Size can range from 16 AWG to 12 AWG. The larger the wire, the wider the bandwidth. The antenna is designed to be fed with 50 or 75 Ohm Coax Cable of most any length with a Balun. Place a 1:1 Balun...
