Coils getting hot in antennatuner. Is this normal ?

With the velocity factor of 300 Ohms ribbon being 0.99 (take it as 1) and using a symmetrical dipole (hence not a Windom type of antenna), to get a low impedance at the matching unit (tuner if you like) the length of half the dipole + the length of the feeder should be about an odd number of quarter wavelengths. The velocity factor of 300 ohm ribbon twinlead is approximately 0.80, but it varies from brand to brand and lot to lot. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
