I quickly developed the impression that the principal impedance matching device was the lossy coil. VSWR was good, signal reports were lousy. Needless to say, I went back to a bugcatcher and a base matching coil. -- Crazy George Remove N O and S P A M imbedded in return address "pete365" wrote in message ... I didn't think that the wip would go that far down. I guess what I'm asking , is it normal for the coil to get hot when I go key down for a couple of minutes. Has anyone had one of these apart? what kind of coil is it? Pete N1AGV 'Doc wrote: Pete, By any chance was the whip/upper portion of the antenna extended down into the coil? As in a 'core' in the coil which shouldn't be there, that sort of thing? 'Doc |
