Hello folks,

I have a question here... I recently bought one of these excellent Par
Electronic EF-SWL antennas.

As the supplied radiator can be disconnected and another wire be hooked
onto the 9:1 transformer, I was thinking to give a go at hooking up a
150 foot length of wire that I have on hand. My question is this: in
hooking up an alternate wire to the transformer, would the antenna lose
its characteristics as a 1-30 MHz antenna? Would an antenna tuner then
be required?

Very curious for info on this. I'm afraid I don't know too terribly
much about antenna theory.

Thanks in advance for any help provided,

Just give it a try and see if it works well for you.

The impedance of the wire is determined by its diameter and height above
ground not the length. The 9:1 UNUN is a good choice.
