Hi Mark,
Thanks for the response. Good, I won't worry about it. But I do know about coax seal, rubberized electricians tape, and being throrough with my connections. tnx agn. 73 Bill Mark Keith wrote: zeno wrote in message ... When transmitting what effect does moisture and/or precipitation have on various kinds of antennas, also what is the effect of rain on say uninsulated ladder line. I'm sure it could vary to freq being used, but overall, very little. Rain will not have much effect on ladder line, unless there is a way for water to bridge the gap between wires. You will see increased loss with twin leads, but very little with ladder line that has mostly air between the wires. What is the general effect of moisture on antennas and feed lines as power is increased? Well, again could vary, but overall not a whole lot in general. With my coax fed dipoles, it doesn't matter if it's raining or not up to 1500w. There is no difference in performance. I could see water maybe having more of an effect on say real high freq antennas. UHF, etc.. HF, there is little difference unless you have a problem caused by water. IE: waterlogged coax, twin lead that is wet, etc. MK |
