Howdy --
I'd like an estimate of the implication to SWR of hardwiring some
RG-213. By that I mean using crimp butt connectors to couple the inner
conductor
and the shield instead of your normal connectors. The shield is pulled off to
the side and twisted together so that it's basically one conductor where it's
butt connected as well.
There's a VE1 that's done that for years with hardline (I think he just
twists the conductors) on 160M and then using liter soda bottles over the top
for wx proofing but I've got no idea of the say, 20M implications. Would you
see a big jump in SWR or what? The situation is that a 6' jumper was used to
connect a damaged feedline so there are butt connectors at both ends of the
jumper.
Tnx for your input.
Cheers,
Steve K7LXC
