fan duplex with close frequency elements

fan dipole with close frequency elements

Would it work to have a pair of elements on a fan dipole that are close on frequency? Say 51.000Mhz and 53.000Mhz... one would be horizontal the other vertical


Note... I hate predictive text. It chose 'duplex' instead of dipole

It would work but you would be better off running separate feedlines and using an antenna switch. Some guys run a fan dipole for just 80m with one wire cut to the bottom of the band around 3.6 MHz and another cut to the top end around 3.9 MHz. It works.

Never thought about that.. humm might make one this weekend.
