I am searching the index for the reflector as well as the internet on 'shunt feeding' for my new 30' tower which is soon to have a 10' mast on top of it. For 40 thru 160 meters Would I be wasting all
Absolutely correct. I would not start any antenna project without an antenna analyzer. I put up a ham stick dipole this weekend, as a temporary and portable project, and it would have been impossible
'shunt feeding' for my new 30' tower which is soon to have a little project without anything to measure impedance or an capacitor necessary for the shunt feed? Bob, Break down and buy the ON4UN book
H'mmm, that's a pretty broad statement. How about people who don't have antenna analyzers? Don't put up antennas? I been putting antenns up for over 50 years and only had an analyzer for the last 2 y

I don't recall many analyzers available 50 years ago. Of course, tube transmitters were a bit less critical. I use the Tenna-Dipper with my MP-1 for portable use. It's easily worth the $25 I paid for
That is a fair question. I believe the answer depends upon the type of antenna you are constructing, and the circumstances and location where you install it. If you are speaking about constructing a
the last 2 years. For the first 25 years didn't even have a SWR bridge. Somehow they seemed to work. Had to tweak them a time or 2 to get them to work. Built beams, quads, phased verticals, etc. 73 A
And I bet you also carry a large quantity of batteries for them :^) 73, bob N7XY _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list
Bob You might try using a noise bridge. I bought one off ebay for $10.00 and it works great, Yes it is the poor mans antenna analyzer but it works. Ron - W9RMA -- -- I am searching the index for the
