Order of dipole wires top down

Most Fan Dipoles have a low to high band wire order (top-down). This might be the best solution, but I experimented changing the order. Putting higher frequencies between lower frequencies.

In this version the 20m wire is in the middle. So the order is:

1. 60m (extended for 80m and 160m band)
2. 20m
3. 40m

Measurements

---

160m band

Remarks 160m

• unsuspected low impedance (maybe due to BU-50 1.8MHz lower limit)

---

80m band

Remarks 80m

• low impedance

---

60m band

---

40m band

---

20m band
