I have a question about using the noise bridge. I have used it cut stubs to 1/4 wavelength using 52 ohm cable with no problems. I now need some stubs using 75 ohm cable which I have on hand. Will the

I used a noise bridge to cut all the RG-11 stacked yagi and phased verticals phasing lines as well as harmonic stubs here when running a 2 station single op contest, before SO2R. Using the station re

I would expect it to work OK with 75 ohm cable. An open-circuited 1/4 wave line looks like a short at its sending end and you would be looking for a null as the line reaches a 1/4 wavelength, so I wo

Null depth is a function of cable loss. Heliax produces the deepest null, small diameter coax (RG-59, RG-58) is quite poor 75 vs. 50 ohm should make no difference. 73 Frank W3LPL -- Original Message

Not always -- stubs made with higher Vf cables are longer, so in my experience they come out about the same for attenuation and bandwidth. The only way to get a deeper null (with the reduction in ban

I must not have written clearly enough. I was not questioning the low loss, only that the high Vf was the way to get it. You DO get the low loss by going to larger coax, (like the 7/8-in hard line),

All generally true, I expect, but I also believe that dielectric constant and dielectric losses also figure in and the lowest loss lines would be filled with air, dry nitrogen or evacuated. I expect

Do tell! Dielectric losses become evident at 2M with 1500W and at 432 400W of steady carrier will heat up even the best N connectors and RG-213. For that reason many are switching to the 7/16 DIN. Ca
