Cut two 1/4WL sections of tubing. Slip one over the coax and connect it to the coax braid where the coax enters the tubing. Leave the outer insulation on the coax. Don't connect the bottom tube or the coax braid to anything where the coax comes out. Install an insulator/support to hold the two pieces of tubing together in a straight line dipole-like configuration. Tie the coax inner conductor to the upper tubing. With this configuration, you won't need additional choking on the feedline. *******************+ ********************+ | ====================+======== 1/4WL +--------------------------------- coax | ====================+======== *******************+ ********************+ *** is the tubing, + is a connection. I don't understand how this would work. The tube to coax connection on the right seems to extend the 1/4 wave tube indefinitely, down the line. I think I would connect the coax shield to the right tube at that tube's left end, and add a ferrite current balun around the coax where it exits at the right end of that tube. |
