Hello everyone,
I'm new to topband. Recently got on with a coaxial L at 55 feet and I'm
sure that it's no surprise to all that the performance is mediocre, although I
have worked 23 countries.
Thinking about erecting in it's place a T loaded vertical and wonder if you
have any suggestions on calculating the dimensions of the T if used with a 55
foot or hopefully a 60 foot radiator. The T would have to be partially strung
through tree branches. Is a single wire radiator sufficient?
Finally, any suggestions on a matching? If it comes out at ~20 ohms can I
direct feed with the RG213 that is in place and use the tuner in the shack or
is it best to construct an L/C circuit at the base?
Tnx,
Rich W1TSP
