Questions on broadband antenna design (e.g. T2FD)

So what is all this angst about efficiency? Pour 100W into any hank of wire and you will achieve at least that. Or do you mean that the design you are looking for will be used as a model for others? Good afternoon, Richard. Actually, what I mean is that some, including me, will be using 5-watt radios (Yaesu FT-817). If the option of pouring 100W into any hank of wire was available to all, the issue wouldn't be critical. It's not, so it is. :-) more the pity that the requirement of having a $25 tuner is an unreasonable expectation Remember the ALE requirement. I am only just now becoming convinced that some autotuners might work for ALE. I'm quite certain manual tuners won't. |
