Built a 20m coaxial-sleeve vertical dipole where the bottom half acts as both a 50-ohm transmission line and the bottom ¼ wave radiator due to RF skin effect on the outer conductor. Used standard 468/F calculation for initial half-wave length, then cut coax a foot longer for tuning with an analyzer. Performance: The 30m version tuned well across 40m-10m with my KX3 ATU, hoping similar results with this 20m slanted vertical configuration. Construction used RG-8X with toroidal choke at feedpoint. Has anyone else experimented with coaxial sleeve dipoles on HF bands?
