Hi Tor, thanks for the help
...it seems to be proven method as I did quick check and F/B shifted very close to the original and impedance curve was quite ok. This was very quick as I already had both sw's. Actual impedance measurements must wait the monster is up probably next summer... I think you will find they are very easy to build. The only adjustment that might be needed is the tip lengths on the driven length, which might vary somewhat depending on the lead lengths on your balun. But I found on mine (I built two 6 el/21 Mhz and one 6 el/28 Mhz) that I didn't need to adjust anything in the actual antenna. No adjusting matching networks since they are 50 ohm Z anyway. I used insulated element brackets, if you use metal plates you might want account for that. The one thing I don't particularly like about the designs I used is that they are hard to side-mount (with a rotator) on a tower, since one element is very close to the center of the boom. But they seem to perform quite well. Tor N4OGW |
