Jim, Boy can I tell that you have been living in the islands for a while!!!! Ha Ha. Out here in the American Siberia, we have to worry a lot more about hard freezing than corrosion with this type pro
To anyone, What is the impedance of the two 75 ohm cables in parallel? Is it close to 450 ohms so that you just hook it up directly to the end of a long run of 450 ohm open wire feeder????? Thanks, M

Interesting Dick. I guess I will take this time to tell a true story about one of my experiences about 15 years ago when AEA was a young and upcoming company. We developed a "software/firmware" produ
Hello Tom, I solved the problem by making two patch boxes, each with a plexiglass front panel and a bunch of through hole barrel connectors. One box has each of my amplifiers coming to a connector fr
Hello Ted, I have gone to using a 1.5:1 UNUN at each end of my 550 ft. length of 3/4 inch CATV hardline and it works fine. If you have an antenna tuned to 50 ohms fed with any length of 50 ohms going
Hello Pete, Yes, you are quite right if you are operating only on one band. I use my coax for feeding a triband stack and it needs to be flat across that portion of the spectrum. Parenthetically, I h
Hello Eric, I agree with you. I think the bottom line is that the reason for using 1.5:1 UNUN's is to keep your transceiver foldback circuit from reducing power and to help keep your lines flat to ne
Ted, I have not been following this thread at all, but I did for some reason read your message and decided to respond. I Have an M2 2800 rotator in my 89 foot US Tower that has been turning a pretty
I have worked DX with 1 mw using my triband stack. I do know that you can operate in much of the spectrum with less than 5 mw without a license. I don't think that applies the Amateur Radio, but mayb

Pete, If you don't try to get the maximum turning angle, why can't you just use three angle iron pieces each about four feet long. Place two of them on the side of your tower so that one is about fou

Hello Pete: Well, in my case it did. First my C3d is not nearly that broad. I am lucky to have about 500 kHz bandwidth between 2:1 SWR points. 200 kHz where I was concerned meant that I could not ope

Bill: I was going to answer this privately, but I thought I had better share this with the entire reflector. I have used penetrox in the past to help seal barrel connectors and have had them arc over
