Second Antenna

It didn’t take long for the “more!” feeling and I quickly added 40m speaker wire to the balun and put it on a roof tripod. I did a fan dipole in an X pattern on the roof. This got me on 40m and 20m. I used the 468/f formula to measure out the speaker wire. By this point I also joined the local amateur radio club and one of the guys came over with an analyzer and I was pretty close to resonant right in the middle of the bands.
