Was not following the thread enough to catch the frequency, but a half wave dipole, or odd multiples, will gatch to 50 ohms at particular heights (details available) or more commonly when at the appropriate angle rather than a straight (180 deg)


Still is a bit” height above ground” dependent but in general a more reliable 50 ohms,
In HF up to 6m. At VHF the Discone antenna is a variation on the angular dipole theme

1:1 balun in box
With the whips supplied thiw will form a dipole with a minimum frequency of 14 MHz to 54 MHz and beyond.
If this is needed at 40m they supply two loading coils and a matching stub across the feed point (red Banana plugs)
