Hi, Carl I did a bit of further investigation and work on your problem. I think you are done, as follows: 1.0 Just tap the Skyneedle at 90' and tune out the series inductive reactance with a variable
Sorry, Carl! My loss tables didn't translate from HTML to the reflector. I'll re-build the tables manually and re-send this message! Sorry! Charlie, K4OTV --Original Message-- From: Topband [mailto:t
Hi, Jim Well, Maxwell's "W2DU" balu ns are ferrite sleeve baluns and you can get those that go down to 160m. It's a matter of choosine the right ferrite for the frequenc;y range of interest, and usin
Charlie Thank you for your work and insight. It appears I've I may have provided some incorrect info. When I tapped the tower at 90' I used the 160pf variable cap to get down to the 68 ohm impedance
Charlie FYI. I'm using 60' to 70' of LMR400 from my panel at the base of the needle to the shack. No long runs here. Carl AG6X Sent from my iPhone Well, here it is with the re-built loss table, Carl
Thanks, Carl! Well, if you' heard a RX peak at 1770 KHz, it seems that you are awfully close! Just needs a little careful "tweaking" I would think. (I ass'ume that you are probably shootinf for somet
