Hf Antenna Question
Ian White GM3SEK wrote:
I think WA2SRQ's advice is one-sided, because it fails to recognize the benefit of bunching the cable together - namely that it moves the whole resonance curve downward (due to the increased self-capacitance) without needing to increase the length of cable. For someone who wants a low-band choke, that is a Very Good Thing. The poorer performance at higher frequencies is the obvious natural tradeoff for having moved the whole resonance curve downward - but that doesn't make it a "poor design". Ian, I forgot to congratulate you on making a purse out of a sow's ear. Or is it a pig in a poke? :-) -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |
