I use an OCF for 80 and 40 meters and have used it on other bands at
times when I am too lazy to turn the awitch that puts me on my triband
beam, I really like the OCF as I am usint a home built OCF called a
Carolina Windom. Mainly an OCF but a choke aboyt 20 feet from the feed
point on the coax. It plays as well as my 80 meter dipole on 80meters.
I just have not seen anything called an OCF folded dipole. I have seen
the folded dipole so know what that is.
There are some antennas that I do not care for but have not tried them
either.
