Quarter-wave matching coaxial cable
To to feed a delta loop with a 1/4 wavellenght coaxial section I used my MFJ259B following the instruction of the MFJ259b manual (7.1 Testing Stubs)
To verify the section I have followed other two methods: 1. MFJ259 manual (Testing Stub with help of 50ohm resistor for lowest SWR) 2. ON4UN method described by Low-Band Dxing Book (Chapter 6, Quarter-wave matching section) The measures that I got with each of the three methods are too different. By accepting a reasonable differences in the results, which of the three methods are considered more reliable ? Ed, IV3TQE |

What I would do is cut it a little longer than 1/4WL with the velocity factor taken into account. Connect it to the antenna and trim for lowest SWR on the MFJ258B. Why bother with an exact 1/4WL when you can trim for lowest SWR using the actual antenna? |

The first: 7.1 Testing Stubs The second method has no sensitivity (Q = 1). The third method surprises me - a topic for Longwave? 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Anyway I hope my Analyzer could help me to get 1/2 wave coax and some sections for a phasing system |
