Topband: Summer Projects: Shunt Feeding a HDX589MDPL

[VE6WZ_Steve]

Mike,

In this video I explain exactly what you want to do.  In fact this video is about shunt feeding the HDX-589mdpl….your exact tower.
I explain how to adjust the tap height and spacing of the gamma wire to achieve a perfect match.
