The 80M2LLC is a real performer, both mechanically and electrically.Element halves start with 3" diameter tubing and taper through 2", 1-3/4", 1-1/2", 1-1/4", and 1" sections to the 3/4" tips. The 3" and 2" sections are separated by a polyethylene insulator to allow for the linear loading (#10 copperweld). A solid 2" O.D. Fiberglass rod, sleeved to the 3" elements, serves as the center insulator.
The linear loading terminates above the boom and out of the element plane to reduce inductive cancellation, provide element support, and minimize excessive element droop. In fact, the 80M2LLC looks better than some 40 meter models. The 1:1 balun and phone / CW power switching relays are housed in heavy wall ABS cannisters at the center of each element. Relay requires 12 VDC supply.
On the air, you"ll find little competition for the 80M2.
