> High-Power 160-Meter Omega-Match Components: These were used to load my
> grounded tower on 160.  The hard-to-find parts are the two high-voltage
> air-gap transmitting variable capacitors.  These have quarter inch spacing
> with plates meshed.  Each capacitor is 20 inches long, six inches high and
> six inches wide.  Never did figure out how many mmF, but they worked great
> as an omega match.  Also included is a Wireman high-power W2DU 1:1 current
> balun which keeps the coax feedline from radiating.  This balun is white,
> about fifteen inches long and an inch and a quarter in diameter and is
> designed for 1 to 30 MHz.  (The beauty of the omega match is that you 
> don't
> have to fiddle with the matching stub.)  Thrown in for free are two other
> smaller transmitting air variable capacitors.
