Subject: [TenTec] Lowest loss matching an antenna for my Argonaut 509
> 150 ohms at resonance you say thats 3:1 Thats a tuff one to find unless
Palomar Engineering or Amidon still making made to order specialty baluns.
A 4:1 would be about 25% less effecient or power loss being radiated out.
Been years since I last ordered anything from them.

low loss tuners looks like it is easier to make it happen. A company use to
sell ladder line spaced about 1 1/2 inches using 1/8 inch plastic dowel type
spacers, and the spacers were about a foot apart or so. You do not want to
use the web type ladder line cause it has a much higher line loss.
