All Band Coax-fed Dipole ??????????
The BuxComm Antenna Company sells what it calls an All Band Coax-fed
Dipole. http://www.commparts.com/catalog/pro...ffad91005875fb It consists of 135 ft. of wire, a balun at the center feed point, and the RG 8X coax transmission line. I don't claim to know a whole lot about antennas, but this configuration is contrary to everything that I have read about feeding mutiband antennas. When I wrote to the company with a question about this, I received a response from K4ABT, Buck Rogers himself. He attached to his note a section from the ARRL Antenna Book, which seems to indicate that coax should not be used with this type of antenna if one wants to use it as a multibander. I have a lot of respect for Buck, based on his years of Elmering a lot of us through his articles. But this one has me stumped. Any input will be appreciated. |
