The W6NL approach is 1/2 WL of 50-ohm coax, followed by a quarter wave of 75-ohm, followed by as much 50-ohm as it takes to get to the house. 73, Pete _______________________________________________
I have a full sized sloper with the 1/4 wavelength piece of RG6 (was lighter than RG11 hanging out of the antenna) between the antenna and the RG213 coax (length of the RG213 is irrelevant.) Broadens
my antenna handbook shows one wavelength of rg-213 starting at the feepoint, followed by 1/4 wavelength of RG-11 does the trick nicely, with low losses at the band edges. if that will make it to the
It's even better than that - a piece of 75-ohm coax permanently in the line at the right place gives a frequency characteristic that has a double-dip. I think the idea was first thought of (or at lea
K5TR has another way. He sent me how to do it but I can't find it. I recall a piece of 75 ohm coax that was switched into the line. Maybe Geo will post it. Mike W0MU CC Packet Cluster W0MU-1 W0MU.NET
There are several ways to make a dipole cover all of 75/80 meters, and also many ways that don't work. A double Bazooka doesn't cut it. It only provides about 14% increase in bandwidth at the expense
You need the "tuner" 4:1 balun from Array Solutions and should have a tuner in the shack. Unless you have a very long run for coax I do not think you will lose a lot in losses. I replaced a HF6V with
You have it correct. It's just a 43 ft aluminum pole. Run that thru EZNEC and you can see what happens to the radiated pattern on the high bands, and notice the impedance on different bands. Yes the
Having looked at the Array Solutions website, and not being smart enough to put two-and-two together, how does the ZeroFive work? It looks like a single continuous radiator -- great for 40, 80 and 16
I don't understand the reasoning for using double bazookas on 40 and 80. The only thing that a bazooka provides is wider bandwidth, and that increase is so miniscule that it doesn't seem to be worth
I have spent hours going through the internet looking for a dealer that has: RG-58 with the steel copper coated center conductor. Does anyone know you might have such, I called the "Wireman", and he
A 1.5 wl dipole or inverted vee at modest heights probably won't provide any more usable gain than a half-wave dipole or inverted vee under many circumstances, but it really depends on a lot of varia
My coaxial inverted Ls can be thought of as 1/2 of a bazooka. It is fed by coax. At the antenna base the shield of the feeding coax goes to the center conductor of the RG8X coax of the antenna and th
It sounds like you don't have a current mode balun, or maybe your balun isn't working properly. If it's a voltage mode balun, the feedline will act as part of the antenna and change the resonant freq
I decided to try a OCF (Off Centerfed Dipole) dipole for the 160M contest this weekend rather than trying to put up the extended double bazooka I normally use. The bazooka worked well but was a singl
Tom, Nice try to dance out of it :-) Who is talking about coaxial dipoles? So it worked for some 50 years, now you "calculate" it doesn't? 73 Yuri, K3BU List Sponsored by AN Wireless: AN Wireless han
Except for balance, there is no difference between that arrangement and the arrangement in a coaxial dipole. A stub across the feedpoint would have to have a few ohms of Zo to do significant reactan

You already sound like an expert. So, the obvious question I have is - why do you want to know the precise voltage? Sounds like an academic exercise. SRI, I got tired of academics after being grad
