Perhaps you do 'suspect that Steve did'. But you can't possibly know, and your comments were indeed disparaging. I presume that 'virtually all of your earlier recommendations' are also WRONG! How doe

I have the same impression. I saw nothing wrong with K9YC's comments, while VE3ZI's are childish. Dave AB7E That was the most juvenile retort I have ever seen on the reflector. Bob K6UJ Perhaps yo

<That was the most juvenile retort I have ever seen on the reflector. > <Agreed.> Very probably, and for that I apologise. Nevertheless, I'm afraid that I am still rather upset at what I perceive to
I did not make an attack at all -- indeed my original post pointed to Steve's excellent test jig as something to be followed. I would have been negligent if I had failed to point out that certain of

Gripe all you want but you've used a few examples to try to refute a generalization that has basis in fact. There are far too many cases of poor products from outside US and Europe, not just China,

China can made very good products or garbage. The deciding factor is who is paying them and what quality does that company desire in a product. My experience is with toys and molds. You got what yo
You could make the same generalizations about U.S. quality if you didn't ignore companies like MFJ or some of the antenna manufacturers that can't seem to put all the required parts in the box. Certa
Isn't most JA ham gear Kenwood, Icom, Yaesu made in China these days? Maybe assembled in JA? You could make the same generalizations about U.S. quality if you didn't ignore companies like MFJ or som
This has been an interesting tangential discussion but I would like to now bring it back to my original question...... :-) So far, taking into account the tolerance caveats, the consensus seems to be
You may prefer that, but that sort of bead only works at VHF. My detailed recommendations are here. http://k9yc.com/2018Cookbook.pdf Yes, #31 material is the weapon of choice for 160M - 6M. 73, Jim K
I measured about a dozen of these size beads on RG8 and found a choking resistance under 1000 ohms, IIRC. This was for a passive receive 160m 4 square (W8JI design - top hats, L resonated, R loaded)
Hi Grant, Thank you for that information. I assume that the 1000 ohm choking resistance was for the entire dozen beads not just one bead, correct? What is the recommended choking resistance goal? Is
Hi Jim, Thank you for your reply and the link to your extremely comprehensive documentation! I read though it at length today and there was much that I did not understand very well. I am going to rea
