An SWR between 4:1 and 16:1 is what allows me to use a 130 ft. $20 dipole fed with 400 ohm window line on all HF bands without needing an antenna tuner. What's wrong with live and let live? I find your approach to antennas boring as heck but I am not going to rag on you about it. Different strokes for different folks. One has to have a transmission line anyway - might as well let it perform the matching function. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp Did I deny to let you live with your SWRed piece of wire? Be happy. If my 7 el Razor, Quad Yagi log driven design is boring, and your piece of wire is exciting, may the SWR be with you! Gee, what a revolutionary concept, let your transmission line do the matching for your doublet with open wire feeders. Yo everybody, tear down your coax fed beams, arrays, towers, just put up doublet and work the WAS in no time. Can you picture all those stupid contesters, serious DXers with decent antennas wasting their efforts to eliminate SWR from their feedlines? Yep, I can picture trying to use coax feedlines for matching kilowats to non-resonant antennas. Good for melting the ice in the gutters. Be happy with your doublet, I am looking for "boring" killer antennas that can hear and work stuff that others can't. To me much more fun and challenge than your SWR endeavors. da (Quagi) Razor BUm |
