Reid, You asked about the CW80 and your 737, as well as your ic2kl/at500. responses in digest issue 27 were all over the lot. (AB7E's were spot-on, however.) First hand experience: I've had CW160's @

I think Jim's answer, and others, are certainly correct in many respects and provide good information about antennas and feedlines. However, the original post had to do simply with whether or not the

Seeing 1:1 swr at the shack means that the swr at the antenna is also 1:1 (provided you don't have excessive feedline loss). Swr will be the same anywhere on the line. 73 Gary K4FMX ________________

Well, yes, Gary, that's true. But suppose it's 1.2:1? is that because it's 1.2:1 at the antenna, or because whatever wierd impedance is presented at the feedpoint is transformed to something close to

If it is 1.2:1 at the shack it is also 1.2:1 at the antenna. The impedance may be transformed but the swr will not be. 73 Gary K4FMX _______________________________________________ __________________

WRONG! The loss in ANY transmission line will cause the SWR to be reduced as you travel along the line AWAY from a mismatched load. The loss can be predicted by Smith Chart calculations, by some equa

This is only true if you have a feedline without loss. If it is 1.2:1 at the shack it is also 1.2:1 at the antenna. The impedance may be transformed but the swr will not be. 73 Gary K4FMX ___________

Yep. The ARRL Handbook used to show a dummy load, made up of a roll of lossy, unterminated coax immersed in a bucket of water. I suppose you *could* terminate it, with something, anything, or short i

Nice try Jim. Let's get the facts straight though. You were trying to tell us that the SWR on a transmission line would be different at one end of the line verses the other end because of the transfo

My apologies to Jim Jarvis! Sorry for the rant Jim. I just realized after posting that it was Jim Brown that made all the comments on line loss and swr. 73 Gary K4FMX ________________________________

NO. I didn't say that. Gary, instead of arguing, I suggest that you study the ARRL Antenna Book or any textbook on transmission lines. I'm quite sure of what I wrote in my previous post. It was true

Thanks for the appology, Gary, but it was unnecessary. Maybe even premature. I read it before the TT digest arrived, so it made me curious. Some of what you were reacting to WAS my comment. We seem t

I use the Short Carolina 80 version of the carolina windom. This is a better version for DX (broadside) and within 1200 miles omni. This antenna was originally called the Carolina beam and Radio Work

Sorry Jim, but I am not arguing. I fully agree with what you said and I understand about cable loss. I had unintentionally thought that the other Jim had posted what you had and mixed the two in my l

Hi Jim Jarvis, I need to keep the two Jim's identified in the post. I agree with you about the line loss and what it does to swr readings. I didn't think that was what you were saying originally. I h
