Re: MicroVert Antenna

Previous wire antenna farm had loop for 160 roughly 560 feet. Competed with those running maximum power. Yes, I was happy. Now everything is scaled down to a 43 foot dipole wrapped around three sides of building. When weather warms up will put up an off center fed with 4-1 balun. (My spell check selected balloon, baling and blain) Building a 20mm QRP rig and placed a semiconductor backwards. Have tried the usual methods, solder sucker and wick to no avail. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I insisted on having tuned antennas but gradually have deviated and gone to the more is better. Our (xyl is a ham too) latest creation is an 1150 foot horizontal loop fed into a homemade 4:1 current balun into coax back into a manual tuner.
