There are tons of "loss vs swr" programs  for different types of coax, just search the net.  I have a Zerofive 43 foot antenna.  On 75 the SWR is <3.0:1.  On 160 it is <4.5:1.  Check the programs usi

A 43' vertical is a serious mismatch on 160 and 80, its too short, has a low radiation resistance and lots of reactance. That makes a tuner run a high loaded Q and have lots of circulating current in

The SWR is high, the resistive part of the impedance is very low and the reactive part is very high. The high SWR makes the losses in the coax higher, but at 160m the losses are very low to begin wit

Yes, this comports with conclusions stated in the much of the literature on the matter. Oddly enough, this big stick vertical monopole has proven itself a very quiet, solid RECEIVING antenna for bot

Agreed. That kinda sums it up nicely. I could not find any details, either. I am thinking I favor Mr. Salas's design - it is open, and apparently has the imprimatur of the QST Editorial Board. It loo

On HF the atmospheric noise is so high that 99% loss in the tuner with most receivers (other than a very simple direct conversion radio or a crystal set) are limited by atmospheric noise, not receive

At the moment, I have a disagreement with the QST technical editor. In the April QST he wrote that you can't make a parallel transmission line with impedance lower than 87 ohms. That shows he's using

You are just moving the match losses out to the $250.00 box at the antenna.  You are reducing the SWR losses in the coax.  So for maybe 1/2 DB coax loss you can spend the $250.00.  It does not make t

Just a coil in a plastic box solves most of the problem for an awful lot less money. If you can get by with manually switching the coil in and out, rather than using expensive relays, you really can

All hams need to learn about antennas and that makes this as appropriate a forum as any. No ham station makes contacts without any antenna. 73, Jerry, K0CQ ___________________________________________
