To N6WG, Bob and all TOPBAND List

Object: 50 Ohm to 900 Ohm transformer with Amidon Ferrite Toroidal Core 
FT140-43 for Flag, pennant, delta-ewe, as pointed out from
              Earl K6SE.

Primary  50 Ohm low impedence side is 8 turns and secondary is 34 turns with 
about 990 microH to 1 milliH with a 20 AWG enamelled wire

on an Amidon FT-140-43 imported from Amidon.    

Ros check with a new MFJ269B Analyser showed better ROS match a bit lower in 
frequency than 1.8 Mhz.

Insertion loss test  I performed a while ago so I do not remember but maybe 
close to around 2 dB. 

Measurements of two of them back to back  to get 50 Ohm to 50 Ohm is better 
performed with same lot ferrite selection.

FT-140-43 mechanical data can be found at Amidon Web site:

Best greatings.                                              73 de Sergio,
