Hey guys: In his book, ?Reflections?, Maxwell states that all power fed into the transmission line (minus line loss) is absorbed by the load, regardless of the mismatch. Secondly, with open-wire tune

Thanks for the clarification Roger. It sounds as if you originally were targeting matching networks in the shack at the tx. the new class of s.s. AM broadcast tx have built in tuners to correct for v
Sounds to me like Maxwell needs to go back and read the ARRL Antenna Handbook. == message truncated == __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has
Maxwell used to be a contributor to the ARRL Antenna Book and his book ?Reflections? sold through the ARRL. Now neither is true. As to the reason why, depends on who you want to believe; Maxwell or t
Roger, you lucky dog! Sure wish the other 99% of us hams had the money and space to have such an antenna farm. But since we don't and are forced to live with antenna restrictions or limitations, what
Scott, this is true if and only if people recognize that Maxwell was talking about openwire in the classical form, and not ladderline which most people use now days. 73 Rick Hey guys: In his book, "R
Well, I agree with Walt on this, except there is also a (usually small) loss in the tuner. If you run Dean Straw's (N6BV, ARRL Antenna Book Editor) excellent TLW, one of the s/w packages that comes w
Hi Scott, I guess you couldn't see the dead pan expression on my face as I typed. I was just being tongue-in-cheek. Maxwell's just fine with me and I agree with him 100%. In fact, so does the ARRL An
I think the point being missed here by one of the posters is that if the feedline is really excellent....like the 1/2 inch Heliax, or perhaps 450 ohm transmitting ladder line, or less radically, perh

The loss for 100ft of RG-213 on topband for a 5:1 SWR is 0.4dB - I'll keep it in the shack, thank you very much. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list Ten
You're right! I couldn't believe it as I remembered 213 as being around 1 db for 100 feet at 1:1. But at a lower frequency it is wuite effecient. At twenty meters it would cost you 20 watts out of yo
<SNIP>..............rig are happy, but in actuality, put another SWR meter after the antenna tuner and you'll see the real mismatch, why you are generating RFI, <SNIP> Another myth debunked by Walt,

I sure didn't, Randy. FB on the ARRL Handbook. I enjoy it also. I can't remember precisely what precipitated the spat between ARRL and Maxwell. Seems to me it had something to do with UHF antenna des
That is an excellent example of the kind of trivial loss I was talking about. Good choice of examples ! 73 de Gary, AA2IZ mis-match. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing lis
Yes and no, Gary. Using good coax certainly helps, but as the feedpoint impedance gets very high (like what you get when operating a 1/2 wave dipole on an even harmonic) then losses skyrocket even wi
Rick, this is true, but even the 450 ohm ladder line stuff is certainly better than a long run of coax. 73 Scott -- Original Message -- From: "NJ0IP" <Rick@DJ0IP.de> Reply-To: Discussion of Ten-Tec E
