Construction of my C4XL/D was flawless. Since each 3-set of holes are hand-drilled, there is only one way the holes will match, and thats with the right two element pieces. I believe that the only wa
I have the C4XL-D, a great 5-band antenna! The only caution I can add during construction is in regards to the V-loading wire for 40M elements. This is a very tough, hi-carbon wire which serves as me
DID I SAY 5 BAND?? This thing works on 40-20-17-15-12-10, 6-Bands! -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: towertalk@contesting.com Administrative requests: towertalk-
G/M Dan, This is exactly what I did and it works great. One CAUTION: Try to locate this coax run as far from telephone lines as possible. Mine were within a few feet of each other, and I had serious
Hey Mon, Nobody said anything about cinching those guys down that tight! Obviously, the proposed guys would serve to enhance the climbers sense of security, and stop the darn thing from swinging to a

Yes, but remember, impedance mismatches reflect some energy back down the feeder that could have been radiated by the antenna. Doug - Nx4d To: <towertalk@contesting.com> -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.con
You old bulls need to cut the young Bullock some slack. He shouldnt have to be exposed to this kind of bull, til he has toughened up a bit. Ulcers, aching backs, authritis & bad childhood are no excu
Likewise, when I assembled my C4XL/d last year, the thing went together perfectly. The antenna was assembled at factory, then rivit holes were hand drilled, then matching element ends were actually m
Naaaahhh, cant be. If initial sig hits antenna, and part of energy is reflected back to amp, then all of that is reflected back to ant, then we are already getting these two sigs out of phase. then i
Tnx Steve for this response.......something a little more rational. After all this enlightment, I still plan to keep impedance mis-matches to a minimum, just in case its worth a db or so. Doug - Nx4d
