Not accounting for his marketing technique, his idea wasn't all bad. I found a 100 ohm, 300 watt resistor when I worked for George at Disc-Cap electronics, a surplus sales company. It was heavy, but I wired it across the two legs of an 80 meter dipole and got less than 1.5:1 anywhere I tuned the transmitter. It was lossy compared to a resonant antenna, but it worked ok. I would love to have one again. In an emergency, you can't get the wrong length of antenna wire, even no wire gave a good match and would probably radiate 100 watts at least as well as some QRP stations ![]() station they are talking with sometimes.... I would love to compare the results of using that with the t2fd. -- 73 for now Buck N4PGW |
