Re: [Amps] Bird Slug Modification?

[Paul Baldock <paul@paulbaldock.com>]

After receiving some good tips about the coupling of a 5W slug being 
too tight to convert to a 1KW slug with just a resistor change, I've 
decided to move the pickup further from the transmission line. After 
a little experimenting this seems to work. I only need it to be 
accurate on 50MHz, so if I screw up the bandwdith it will not really matter.
