You know, I have kept my Johnson matchbox in my closet for the time I have some space for a longer wire and some open wire feeders. I also have a Harvey-Wells Z match up there on the shelf, and, as I

The Harvey Wells Z match was a commercial offering of a unique circuit with true transformer- balanced output that appeared in May, 1955 QST. It also appears on pages 353 and 354 of the 1958 ARRL Han

The Z match claims it will handle 500 watts AM in the manual. I put an SB-200 through mine (at over 600 watts PEP) and had no qualms at all. Clark WA3JPG -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/

Heath made air core baluns years ago. They were designed for the output of a DX-100 if I remember correctly and could be wired for 1:1 or 4:1 / 75 ohm or 300 ohm. Has anyone tried using one recently?

I've often wondered why everyone seems to put up 132 or 135ft dipoles fed with tuned feeders. Since the whole system is tuned, why bother making the flat-top a certain length? Using a simple 'basic'

Nope, just chosen to make tuning easier. Predates coax by decades. Line pickup is mostly a function of spacing and antenna balance in open wire feeders. Feeder balance is upset by the feeder not bein

Actually, Jim, a "dipole" antenna can be as short as about 0.1 normal size and still be over 90% efficient in radiating the power it is fed. (Those are very approximate values.) The idea that an ante
