I don't understand that comment. Murphy's Law has nothing to do with it ... Ohms Law does. As N6RK said, where high voltage DC is present, capacitors in series are typically bridged by high value par

It probably depends somewhat on your radial/ground system, but I get about 7.84 MHz with EZNEC. Dave AB7E _______________________________________________ _____________________________________________

That doesn't really qualify as undisturbed soil, and is pretty much what the manufacturer does not want you to do. Here at my QTH, where I have rocks and sand with just the right amount of clay, if I

I don't think you get it yet. Normally I'd let it go but you're going to mislead a lot of people here if I do. The original question involved capacitors in the range of 1000 pf, which at 1.8 MHz have

Agreed, and the tip coupling configuration is fairly critical to the performance. Antenna and modeling guru L.B. Cebik, W4RNL, has written a complete book (I bought it) as well as several design and

AC6LA wrote a cool little application based upon W4RNL's design algorithms to calculate 2 element Moxon dimensions for any frequency. The neat thing is that it will output a file in .ez format for di

The part number on the RF Connection website is RFC83-55PA, which sounds suspiciously like the number you remember ;) I would guess it is Amphenol as well. 73, Dave AB7E _____________________________

I could be wrong, but I don't think K7LXC reviews and screens the TowerTalk postings ahead of time. He probably wouldn't have the time to do it on a real time basis even if he wanted to. Dave AB7E __

It depends upon what your requirements are. If you don't care about isolation between selections and are switching at a point that always has low voltage (maybe at the base of a vertical or something
