			Hello all, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Trying to get back to haming after few years I have purchased an used FT100D. The problem is the antenna. I've been searching the net for HF antenna designs that can fit my apartment's balcony. I really don't have too much space available since the apartment is rented and I live at the 9th floor. I read about magnetic loops and I liked G4FON's version ( http://www.g4fon.net/MagLoopTwo.htm ) I have about 30 meters of RG58 ( 4mm diameter ) available and was thinking of trying his implementation. The only problem is that I can't find FT50-61 toroid around here so I'll try to feed the RF to the loop through a 1/5 coax coupling loop. Question is : will it support all the power the FT100 delivers ( 100W ) supposing I'll use a highvoltage cap ? Tips and tricks about magloops construction will also be appreciated. 73s de YO8SSW P.S. : I am not a native english speaker so please excuse my possible mistakes.  |
