Is there some one on the groupe that used 300 ohm feeder with a dipole for a long periode especially during fall and winter to learn about there experience with that type of installation......? Here is a data point for you. Instead of a tuner, I vary the length of my "450 ohm" ladder-line to achieve a match at the current maximum point. In very wet weather, I have seen a two-foot shift in the length of ladder-line required on 40m from the dry length. 2 feet on 40m is less than 2% of a wavelength. So I would say the difference between wet and dry with ladder-line is less than the difference between insulated and bare wire unless, of course, you lay your ladder-line on a wet deck and deliberately coat it with soapy water. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
