Topband: Help Needed Decoupling the TX Antenna

[py2xb]

Eric

Check N4IS web page. He has decoupled his 160m vertical.

A local fellow here reported decrease of 4(four) S units on his flag noise
by decopling his 160m inverted V. He used two vacum relays and disconected
each leg of the inv vee from the center connector.
