List Some of you may have followed my efforts in trying to shunt feed my 90' Tri-Ex Skyneedle with 20 meter yagi at 93'. I'm still unable to find any sort of resonance point on the tower. To refresh

Sorry Carl, I hit the send button before responding..Now. I believe that first #14 wire is a bit small. I do not believe that you will find a 50ohmZ and X=0 point.  I have 80ft of Rohn 45G with a Tel

Absolutely! Treating the Sky Needle and the #12 wire as a folded dipole and using 8" for the diameter of the tower, you have a 16:1 step-up with the single #14 wire. If you made a cage of 4 or 6 wir

Thanks Dean The one I'm looking at is the old heathkit with the various coil plug ins. The kit comes with a coil that goes down to 1.600. Is there another one you can recommend that may go down furth

Joe Thank you. Yes I agree. I've got PVC insulator arms that I've already bought fittings for them that will allow me to create a three wire cage spaced any distance I'd like. I presume the cage shou

There seems to be some confusion, Carl! First of all, since the gamma match (regardless of the diameter of the gamma "rod") is a shorted transmission line, less than 1/4 wavelength it WILL have serie

Hi Carl, It sounds like you are trying to find 50 ohms on the tower without any series capacitor by looking at R and X. I would not try to do that. The reactance puts you out of range on the MFJ brid

Tom and all Thanks for the responses. I was under the assumption that I would find a 50 ohm tap on the tower but with a lot of reactance requiring a cap that would tune out the X but leave the 50 ohm
