Guy, Tnx for the info. It sounds like I should just crimp on a PL-259 to solve the problem without adding more connectors. And I agree with you about the Amphenol elbows. Found a good stock of them m

Hi Roger, Tnx for the input. I decided to go with crimp on PL-259's as I assume they will hold up well as the other PL-259's. Since rain can't get on the cables and there is virtually no stress on th

Years ago some of us used an L-C network made from a variable cap and a coil to make the amp happy at the top end of 40M with our shorty-forty's. I now have the same problem with a 3-EL 40m that is t

Hi John, It would be nice to add a cap. But I won't climb a crank-up without cranking it down. And this would be a pain. Trying to find an easier solution. 73, N2TK, Tony Could you install a switchab

Ed, It has been cranked down often enough. But it is not my station and it is not trivial hand cranking down the tower with a 3-el 40M and 6-el 20M and a 6-el 6M antenna on it. Unless hurricane seaso

Jim, I agree with what you are saying. But I do not have much choice with 1/4 wave coax lines. Not enough coax to wind them through cores. That is why I am asking about 3/4 wavelength to find out wha
