I was thinking (finally) about simple dipoles and such and have this
question: I plan on constructing some simple dipoles. For fun, I have been modeling them using EZNEC. It seems the "common" practice is to feed the antenna with 50 ohm cable. The antenna feed point impedance is usually ~70 Ohms. Would it make more sense to feed a dipole with 75 ohm TV coax to keep the SWR low on the cable and have the mismatch at the radio? If I plan on using an antenna tuner, would this setup be preferred over 50 ohm feed cable? Does it really make any difference? Just Wondering, Tom |
