It may be cumbersome and require me to get up and lower/raise to change bands, BUT .. this #linkeddipole antenna performs efficiently with my #YouKitsHB1B #HB1B with a SWR of 1.2:1 or lower on the CW #MorseCode portion of the #AmateurRadio #HamRadio bands on 40, 30, 20, 17 and 15 meters.

@N4JAW I love using my linked dipole. So efficient. Worth the minor faff to change bands. ❤️

@mcdanlj Exactly. Each spring, I go through all of my antennas to check for breaks in wire or faulty connections. I've been experimenting a lot lately with using Random Wire antenna. Today the center connector was up almost 40' with ends about 12 feet above ground.
