Default Terminating a Rhombic


Rick, you haven't told us where you are and what the heading is down
the center of the vee///



The vee is only temporary, since it is really only the first half of my
rhombic so I don't really expect much out of it, but couldn't resist hooking
it up to the tuner. This enabled me to get the homebrew tuner to resonate.

The vee/rhombic is aimed 47 degrees from central NJ, which puts it on
central Europe.

The crankup tower, currently sitting at 40 ft but will go to 72, is at least
100 ft behind and off to the side of the rhombic and has a 3 ele SteppIR.

I'll provide more info later as today I hope to get up the 4th support wire
and can then make the vee into a real rhombic. The problem is, I only have
a 4 watt terminating resistor so can only use it for receiving or maybe 10
watt qrp for comparisons. Still looking for a 500 watt terminating resistor
or a means of coupling to a 50 ohm load.
