[TowerTalk] Best Coax (Matching 50 to 75 Ohms)

[TexasRF@aol.com]

The N4KG .08 wavelength series transformer is a single frquency design. At 3X 
frequency the resulting impedance is 81.8 +j30.7 ohms and at 5X frequency the 
resulting impedance is 92.5 -j28.5 ohms. Neither of these values is a good 
match for 75 or 50 ohm coax.  The 3X and 5X idea works only with 1/4 
wavelength transformers and actually works very well. I have used 144Mhz 
power dividers at 432Mhz many times with excellent results.
