It is a b and w 1.8 30, I think it is called. I call it my dummy load
with wires. It is a folded dipole about 100 feet long with a ballon at
the feed point and in the middle of the top wire, right above the feed
point is an unknown resister. I don't have an external tuner for my
solid state amp, so I needed something for all bands. I'm am
considering the alfa delta all band here.
