I have about 40 feet of garden to erect an antenna....Could anyone
tell me if I took 2 20 feet length of twin ladder and shorted the
ends fed one side of the dipole with twin ladder and connected a 52
ohm resistor across the other side so the tx would see a match would
be better than feeding a 40 foot endfed through an atu...
My thinking is that most of the small antenna on the market are just
dummy loads with a small amount of wire attached and appear to work
so would my 40 feet work better.. ??

Many thanks to all who replied to my query...
