Ken:
Some of like to joke a bit, we mean no harm, please do not take offense... I really believe the general consensus is that the knot is no problem... .... now, that said, to tell you the truth, the knot just being there would bother me--and I think it does you too--I'd probably remove the knot and go to great ends to do it--but really, the knot matter naught... Warmest regards, John "Ken Bessler" wrote in message news:Q64oe.9868$Wr.5569@fed1read04... Does a knot in insulated 16g stranded wire pose a problem for a dipole at HF freqs? This is a 66' FD dipole, coax fed, operating 40-10m with a KAT2 autotuner. The knots are 1/2" away from the feedpoint & lock the antenna to it's center insulator. Ken -- Just my 2¢ worth... 73's es gd dx de Ken KGØWX Grid EM17ip, Flying Pigs #-1055, Digital On Six #350, Proud builder & owner of Elecraft K2 #4913 |
