Before I reinvent the wheel, I thought I'd ask if this exists as a commercial product or homebrew project. I've googled quite a bit without success. What I need is a screwdriver antenna controller th

I'm not sure why the bidirectional coaxial cable Beveridge doesn't get more discussion. It is described in ON4UN's book, and seemed to work fine when I built one at a prior QTH, although it does take

Tom, Thanks for all your contributions and comments. I searched the DXE web site and was unable to find the limiter you mentioned. Could you be more specific? Also, a clarification about data on your

It is often mentioned that "very high RF voltages" are present at ends of dipoles, voltage nodes on loops, etc. but I haven't been able to find any guidance in the form of numbers. How high is "very

Thanks for the insight. I will try the EZNEC suggestion. "stub" was a bad choice of words, I've got two approaches in contemplation/analysis mode, both wire loading schemes: 1. Four relay switched ve

A neat and cheap insulator for along a Beverage is the C shaped screw in insulator for electric horse fences. The ends of the C overlap so a half twist allows the wire to be inserted and then held wi
