I measured 1 dB per 100 feet at 1.8 MHz for my random sample of CAT5. Imagine the loss for 100 Mbit/s data! Rick N6RK _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - h

Why? Because they may be in business with 1 hand tied behind their back. Or they might have to raise prices to cover licensing. Or they might be prevented from making product improvements. Etc. Rick

A few comments, in the mode of constructive criticism: 1. The tubing seems to be rather on the small size, and insufficiently stiff. Larger tubing with thin wall is much stiffer than smaller thick wa

I used to buy huge spools of #16 tinned copper "bus wire" from Interstate Wire and Cable in Dallas, TX. The price was fairly good compared to building wire from the home store. I built a grid with 3x

The problem with starting with a saturated amplifier and then backing off the power for linearity is that the dissipation actually goes UP when you reduce the output power. The maximum dissipation oc

As the manual explains, the amplifier has two modes, linear and non linear. Linear is only for low duty cycles. It is also worth noting that a tuned amplifier will in general have better drain effici

The "silver bullet" when it comes to BNC connectors is to instead use TNC connectors (same connector, only threaded not bayonet). In many cases, it is easy to retrofit BNC equipment with TNC. Rick N6

Another thing you can do to measure chokes accurately is to simply use a Vector Impedance Meter instead of a network analyzer. Like the HP 4815A. In essence, it uses the VI method, as the name implie

I have been doing this for over 30 years, and have taught many others to do it. However, what is "wrong" with the technique is that network analyzers are only specified in terms of an insertable coax

On low bands, the Q of resonant stubs is fairly low. Therefore, the effective common mode impedance of these baluns will not be extremely high. If you want a single band choke, you could get a higher

A simpler and more relevant test would be to start with a validated FCP installation and put some jumpers across the FCP to turn it into two multiwire conventional radials, then insert a loading coil

I'm fairly skeptical of gull wing radials. We know that if the radial wire started at the feed point and ran vertically parallel to the antenna a few inches away, that the effective length of the ant
