With the tuner Marinus built and the no 10M, what happens if one or two tunes were removed and still stay as a 50 : 450 ohm balun? Keep The Faith, Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
If it is possible can some one please under AWARDS put Verified? EQSL and LOTW and CARD Verifies is one thing and in some cases be redundant because of the confirmations. Verified just means Verified
I believe Heath Kit made a bifilar wound open air coil, and it use to match 4:1, 50 to 300 or 75 to 450 ohms coil. Thats before Ferrous type cores were used for you young folk. It was installed in se
Yup my first radio was a DX-60A and an NC-190 receiver. I used a 60W light bulb as the dummy load and worked Illinois with it. Keep The Faith, Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
I found the antenna to be just as quiet as a folded dipole when I ran a comparison on 17M last year for about 3 weeks. The double bazooka was a better receiving antenna when I tested them. Keep The F
Looking back at my notations The Double Bozooka noise floor was a needle width less than the folded dipole on the OMNI VI Plus on 17M. Keep The Faith, Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
2000pf capacitor is not your normal find at a swap fest these days. I have seen this use before and one of the hams on field day built one and we used it. Only problem was we had nothing up to compar
I do not have any type of computer modeling program. So for give me and for some of these questions. What is the outer diameter, what is the internal diameter of the center conductor, and the spacein
It is a wounder that these antenna companies has not made an HF yagi with a folded dipole or a DB antennas as the driven element. They all ways come up with some thing strange. Must be too expensive.
If you do not want to slide the center part of the RG8X down the inside of a Yagi driven element, try tie wrapping it on the outside. Attach and tune it like a FD and see what happens. Keep The Faith
I once made a folded dipole for 40M with 16 inch spreaders. It did not work well on 30M or 17M. So I to two pieces of wire ran them in the center of the fold and tuned those wires in free space to 30
Jerry, Both the FD and bazooka on UHF/VHF antenna test use tubing with a large diameters. This gave the antennas band width among other things. The folded dipole had tubing on only one side. The char
OOOOPS Correction: Bazooka eliminates the use of a balun that matches a balanced antenna to unbalance feed line makeing the DB a more reliable antenna. Normally you would use a 6:1 balanced to balanc
I have one of those 12 element 2 meter SSB antennas with a folded dipole as a driven element. Thats one of the things I looked for when I bought it. I can see what you call a sham and why. The DB jus
For interconnecting cables between pieces of Ten-Tec equipment I suggest the Ten-Tec supply or sell cables with common mode chokes. Keep The Faith, Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
I checked out the following web page as suggested: http://www.vk1od.net/DoubleBazooka/index.htm I still cannot doubt the fact of what I saw on my 17M test switching between the DB and FD antenna. The
Common Mode chokes built-in on every orifice on the radio would work all so. Maybe tomorrow I will visit that site. Still 3 weeks and just hearing South America and a little of Europe with that big o
