X-terminator antenna

Those 2 coils on the x-terminator are only 5 turns and 9 turns which does
nothing on 27 mhz. Even a keyclown like me knows this.

Sure they do. You forget that the diameter of the coil makes just as much of a
difference as the number of turns. It's a perfectly legitimate loading coil, but
nothing that couldn't be done with much smaller wire.

You are probably right on both counts......The coils and the keyclown
part.

So you think the coils do nothing? Me too.

If you are not a keyclown why are you so interested in a 15,000 watt antenna?

Just a curiosity.

Originally I never bought in to the belief that such a short antenna
could out do what I thought was the best antenna. I always assumed
that the full size 102"SS whip was as good as it gets.

After hearing this nonsense about these short antennas I inquired
about what this antenna was and where I could get it. I was determined
to un validate any claims that a shorter antenna could out do the 102"
SS. I was told one of these antennas was the X-Terminator. I ordered
one for testing.

After setting up a valid way of testing it I was surprised at the
results and posted them. It's to bad some can't stand the thought
that a shorter antenna can out do a longer one. It must disrupt
and totally disorganize their supposedly organized way of thinking.

Actually it's 62"..........If you can wait a second I'll give you the
entire dimensions. Maybe Mmana wants to know?

Thats what I was thinking, maybe the dimensions of the 3 sections
and coils? Give me something to do tomorrow, being Friday.

Starting from the base..................

9.5 inches of 1/2 inch chrome plated brass.

Then a 9 turn coil 7.5 inches long by 2.625 inches in outside
diameter.

Then 3.75 inches of 1/2 inch chrome plated brass.

Then the second coil of 5 turns, 4.5 inches long by 2.625 inches in
outside diameter.

Then 5.5 inches of 1/2 inch chrome plated brass.

Then the stinger of Stainless steel. 32 inches by 3/32 of an inch.

The coils are 5/16 inch chrome plated tubing.

Total length = 62.75 inches
