Hi Bill, I don't understand what any particular sequence of beads would do, since they are all in series without shunting components to "sap off" current. RF is just like low frequency circuits so fa

Hmm. I base this suggestion on the observation that others had offered that the beads nearest the feedpoint of the balun were heating up and destroying themselves, while beads away from the feedpoint

Tom, When you refer to displacement current due to the weak electric field, are you refering to the electric field between the side of the doublet driven by the center conductor of the coax and the b

Hi Bill, I wonder about that also. Roy Lewallen and a bunch more besides me would sure like to see one do that first hand!!! I have had beads in closed areas do that when hung vertically, the upper b

Hi Mike, Yes, that would be the most direct path for common mode current return...since the open end of the coax is the source. 73 Tom -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submi

I use a homebrew common mode choke at the 40m. feedpoint on my C-4 -- it's the fairly standard 50 beads of #73 material on small-diameter teflon insulated coax. I run about 1200 watts output, and the

Hi Pete, damaged removed damaged, severely very evidence the going Yes. Been there done that many many times over the years. I NEVER use 73 material beads with higher power, or with high common mode

Hello Pete: That is very interesting, indeed. I have always been a big believer in the bead current baluns for the past several years and have been making my own out of surplus beads I have on hand.

One of the true drawbacks to using ferrite for anything is that the imperfections in the material can become significant hotspots for RF. I have seen it in baluns and in tank circuits. We need a camp

I know I've suggested this before, but why not use a mix of bead materials? Have the beads closest to the feedpoint be 43 material, and the ones away from the feedpoint be 73 material. This has the a
