Topband: Use CAT6 as a feedline for you RX antenna

[ve6wz at shaw.ca]

I uploaded a new YouTube video about using CAT6 as a feedline for receive antennas.
I show how to design and make passive transformers to match the 100 Ohm pairs.
I also describe a modification of my TI amplifier that I use from my BOGs to match the CAT6.

About 20 years ago I was using CAT5 for feedlines, so using twisted pairs is not new. It's been around a long time.
However, I'm expanding my phase Beverages arrays and feeding them with CAT 6 helps consolidate feedlines and control voltages into fewer lines in the field.
It is possible to find some very tough, outdoor direct burial CAT6 that can work well.
