I used 450 ohm ladder line and a balun along with a cheap SWR meter.

get the tubes red hot on my antenna with SWR 20 and then using same
drive
and Ip see what happened loading into a 50 ohm dummy and running.
Perhaps
someone has done this and can report the results.
tnx


Hi Hank,

A little follow-on, if you will. I presume you tuned into the load
first before switching to the antenna. How did you determine the SWR?
Were you driving a twin lead transmission line going to your
mismatched antenna, or a coax?
