Subject: Re: [Amps] PARALLEL CAPS IN OUTPUT
### I tried an experiment carl. 6 inchs long piece of cu strap, that is .25
inch wide,with
a 50 ohm globar at far left side, globar mounted vertical. Strap is 3 inchs
above chassis at globar end,
and slopes down to 2 inches above chassis at far right hand side....
terminating in a SO-239 chassis
connector also 2 inchs above chassis. SO-239 mounted to an AL L bracket.
Entire length of the
strap is NOT parallel to the chassis below. MFJ 259B connected to SO-239B .
Guess what the MFJ-259B reads ?? Heres a hint. Its not 50 ohms. Case
closed.
## On another note, 13 ga wire is used inside RG-393 teflon coax...and handles
12+ kw just fine thank you.
I use 10 ga teflon wire, silver soldered to RG-393, for the pigtails on all my
choke baluns. Zero problems so
far. On the hb 3x3 and 3x6 amps and also YC-156 amps, RG-393 also used from
vac load cap to vac relay
TR setup. More RG-393 from vac TR relay to 7-16 Din output connector.

Your wasting your time arguing with Jim, he is in his own rut and doesnt
even read what and understand what others are saying.
