Interesting 144 foot Dipole

Can you describe the balun you used? When one feeds the antenna system at a current maximum point, the balun is non-critical. I am presently using ten turns of RG-400 on an FT-240-61 toroid with no measurable common mode current on an MFJ-853. As you know, the stress on the balun is reduced when the resonant current maximum point is located at the output of the balun-choke. That's another bonus for the matching system that I use. -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |
