I had to finally try one. Got a 40meter Isotron, put it up at about 15'. It
does work.

Not sure how well, but it sends and hears. Worked a guiy in Cuba from
Awstin, TX and a K6 on CW. Not the greatest reports.

Anybody else tried them?

Just curious. Please no flames. This was idle curiosity.

Try this: run a random wire from an antenna tuner up to the
point where the Isotron Dummy Load is. Enjoy.

Or this: Put a line isolator between the coax and the Isotron
Dummy Load so that the braid of the coax doesn't radiate.
Enjoy (snicker).
