Appreciate the discussion. One interesting point about the 44ft length. Any longer than 44ft, and it will no longer feature a bi-lobed broadside radiation pattern on 10M. The same will be true for the 88ft doublet and 20M.
I’m interested in how CAT5e twisted pair (teflon/stranded) feedline loss would compare with 300-ohm twinlead feedline loss for the SWR’s encountered on 40-10M with the 44ft doublet.
My goal is a simple efficient dx-capable multi-band antenna to be used with ATU
