[TenTec] Antenna help

[Tony Lelieveld]

Hi Rick,

Did you have the 1:1 near the radio or outside with a piece of coax in 
between?  I run an extended Zepp, fed with ladder line, hooked directly to 
the balanced terminals on my 238B.  The only band it gives me a little grief 
sometimes is when I am on 40 mtr running about 500 Watt with a Heathkit 
SB-200.  It makes the phone ring, which is an electronic beast hi..hi.  The 
regular Bell phone does not have that problem.  I never took the time to 
play with the feed line length and if/when I do, it will have to wait till 
summer.

73, and Happy New Year, Tony VE3DWI.
