A simple L-network should have very modest-value components to match this thing on 160. I assume the towers are 1/4 wavelength (280 feet) at 870KHz. A very wild guess for the impedance on 1.8MHz base

I'm looking to do some limited 160 DXing from my small lot, and my maximum possible radial system is pretty tiny, so I'm looking to get some power to make up for antenna inefficiency. I came across t

I'm on a really small lot and have put down as much of a radial system in the back yard as I can. It's 27 radials out to the edges of the yard, 40 feet square, so pretty miserable for the low bands.

I've had lots of good responses regarding putting radials out to the front yard. I'm going to run radials around to the front of the house, possibly by putting a perimeter wire around the house. I'd

I added a bunch of new radials to the sides and front of the house, and found that the signal from my TTL clock crystal transmitter out in the field away goes DOWN by about 1dB with the new radials a

Good news, factual news, and bad news. I put up my 60 foot vertical yesterday in place of the 40 footer. I'm still base loading but will probably hoist an inverted L for special occasions. The good n

Just a heads-up to the flag, pennant, and K9AY builders-to-be out there. I built a W7IUV-design preamp using the 2n5109 tonight. I built it from the 4th ed. Low Band DXing so I'd have the schematic i

Having a significant resistive component is useful if the common-mode circuit you're trying to break already has a capacitive reactance... you could make things worse with inductive reactance only.

Tod, I think you're OK. The tower is very much shorter than a resonant length AND the tip of the antenna is very far away from the tower. The coupling between the high current portion of the inverte
