[TowerTalk] 1 5/8" hardline to N female?

[Keith Dutson]

This looks like something from a commercial UHF antenna installation.  You
did not specify the frequency of the VSWR measurement.  I am guessing the
high VSWR is caused by very high impedance at measured frequency that is far
from resonance.

I've been given an antenna that looks like it wants 1 5/8" hardline ... 
here's a picture ... http://www.lf.org/milosz/temp/input.jpg

How do I connect this to something NORMAL like an N connector????

I've tried building things using pipe, tubing, connectors, copper plates
etc and the SWR is awful, like, 5:1.....


Thanks

Bill
