Lower loss feedlines, using RG11 on high dipoles rather than RG8 to reduce mismatch loss at the band edges, raising those dipoles another 20 ft, LP100A power meter (higher accuracy, peak reading) so that I can run closer to legal limit. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
