Topband: Univerasl UN-UN RX transformer kit..K0FF

[Larry Molitor]

Geo,

In my albeit limited experience, the small diameter cores (0.5 in and less) 
prohibit a large enough wire size to insure reasonable survival. Lighting 
and close proximity to TX antennas, even those on the higher bands, will 
destroy wires as large as #24 under hostile condx.

A core size of about 1 to 1.5 inch seems to work out well, (#18 or #20 
wire?) except that the whole assembly is somewhat heavy to hang out at the 
feed point of a "Flag" or similar construction RX antenna.

It would be nice to have the option to pick between the two. Just a suggestion.

I'm about to drop my "Rotateable Flag" and replace the transformer for the 
second time. I don't have any beverages at this time, but have lost a bunch 
of the smaller transformers on those in the past.

73,

Larry - W7IUV
