Putting 21MHz on a 7MHz dipole (2024/05/03)
It is said that the third harmonic of 21MHz is carried on a 7MHz full-size dipole.
However, if you actually try this, you will need to lower the SWR using the radio's built-in tuner, etc.
However, when using the Samway linear amplifier DXV500ZS, it is difficult to use an antenna with a low 22.140MHz SWR.
When measured with NanoVNA, the SWR drops at 21.140MHz.
When I was searching for information on the Internet, I found something similar on YouTube's "Momo Channel!"

It is recommended to insert a 4-turn coil 3.5m from the end of the 7MHz dipole element.
By winding the element four times, the SWR at 7MHz also drops at the target frequency.

However, when I actually tried it, I found that by increasing the coil to 6 turns, the center frequency was reduced by 21MHz.

This coil does not have a capacitor, just wind the coil.

The center frequency, which was 22.140MHz, is now 21.220MHz, and the SWR is now 1.2.
The SWR for 7MHz and 7.100MHz is now 1.7.
