Hi Group,

Let's say I have a 15 meter dipole. If I were to take a ferrite core
and place a core along the dipole for the lenght of 6 meters, having
two cores on either side.

The question is would this antenna now work as a dipole on 6 meters but
not on 15 unless the reactance of the core was low at 21 MHz?

If you want to have a single antenna for 15 meters and 6 meters, you
may find it easiest and more efficient to do what I did with my 20
meter dipole. I cut a 6 meter dipole and hung it under my 20 meter
dipole.

snip II

A dipole cut for the low end of 40M should work "OK" (for
selected definitions of "OK") on both 15M and 6M, as well.

I often work fellas on 6M who apologize for "using a 40M dipole."
Their sigs are usually every bit as strong as others.
