I suspect, if Einstein were given a word ...

However, admitting ones ignorance demands they attempt to remedy it. And, certainly demands more respect ... I've found that leading questions, no matter how ignorant-sounding, are a good learning tool for everyone, including me. :-) Example question to someone on eHam.net who says: "All you need is a 4:1 balun placed outside the shack at the end of the balanced line to convert to coax." Where are you going to find a 200 ohm impedance to match that 4:1 balun that you are recommending for use in your non-resonant system? -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |

Where are you going to find a 200 ohm impedance to match that 4:1 balun that you are recommending for use in your non-resonant system? With no system to tune the 200 (+/-) antenna to resonance--only at a relatively few frequencies on the dial--unless the antenna, itself, was only constructed for use on a relatively narrow band (or, perhaps harmonically related narrow bands) ... sounds to me, some system of causing resonance was implied? However, and perhaps contrary to logic, I have seen 4:1 (2:1 to 9:1 for that matter--and certainly "choke baluns") baluns cause a general gain in general performance--and do this more often than not. Forced to report just what my "eyes" have seen--I, "ignorantly", must state--go figure ... but then again, if it walks like a duck ... Regards, JS |

Roy Lewallen, W7EL Perhaps I should have said "Some people just don't know when to shut up." I think that much is true without exception. I now know that I should have shut up about 3 posts back. :-) ac6xg |
