15m Mono Band Dipole......de MW0BBU.



Had an idea to give 15m a good go as it seemed to be picking up,so down came the Doublet and up went 22ft of wire through a 1:1 Balun,the results speak for themselves as to how it is going...

The log shows some of the better DX , many other EU staions have been worked and in the CQWW quite a few US stations on CW.

Just goes to show what can be done with a simple dipole, needless to say things will only get better as the cycle continues up.
