Ect: 50 Ft tower Jay in the Mojave Oooops all most forgot, I bought a 500 foot roll of 14 gauge copper wire from Home Depot for around 25 dollars (good buy) and throw up a multiband dipole to keep and ear on the ham bands, uses a 1:1 Curent Balun also.

No beam antenna to go along with the Interceptor? Hello Steveo: Oh yeah sure, Extra stuff: An extra tower for a 5 element beam. They seeem to give the most bang for the buck. As the cost of the Boom (the most expensive material cost) length at say .75 wavelengths long. As the beam has more elements the cost of the Boom will start to not be a good deal to get a few extra dB. Jay in the Mojave |

Ect: 50 Ft tower Jay in the Mojave Hello Tony: Your e-mail address that you sent me bounced. So I will answer you here. I use Amidon FT-240-K Toroid Cores that are 2.4 inches in diameter. I wrap two each 12 or 14 gauge Thermaze Wires, taped together, at least 7 to 9 turns for the 10/11 meter band. I use a few more turns for the lower bands 40/80/160. The input or output side doesn't matter which end you use. The Balun is installed between the coax and the dipole feed point. The coiled wires around the Toroid Core will appear to choke off all current going thru it, but thats not how it works. As the unbalanced currents are applied from the coax into the two windings, the current are allowed to be equal and opposite (just what you after) in the output being connected to the dipole feed point in the middle of the antenna. Also the Toroid Balun Chokes off currents wanting to travel down the outer side of the coax shield. Without the Balun choking off these currents wanting to run down the coax, these currents will make the antenna work at a lower frequency, and in some case with a much worst SWR at the frequency the dipole is cut for. Look up Balun on Google and there are a lot of good sites explaining all this. I have Baluns on the Beams, and I have a cheapie Alpha Delta dipole antenna that I have a Balun on and it works great. I would not try it without a balun. Jay in the Mojave |
