so, how does one make a 94 ohm match? [at both 7 and 21 MHz] 1. A 2:1 transformer. 2. An LC network. I think at least three components would be necessary for matching at both frequencies, and an exact match would probably require four. 3. A number of different schemes using transmission line stubs. 4. Don't bother. There's nothing wrong with a 2:1 SWR. Feedline loss will reduce it further. A couple of other notes: I often use a 40 meter dipole for 15 meters on Field Day. I put a small inductor at the feedpoint to bring the resonance down to the bottom end of 15; it doesn't have much effect at 7 MHz. (If it did, I could get resonance on both bands by alternately adjusting the antenna length and inductor value.) You can make a nice bidirectional pattern with some gain in two specific directions on 15 by bending the wires toward each other by 30 degrees to make a horizontal vee with 120 degree included angle. This only has a minor effect on the pattern on 40 meters. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
