Even if the thing acted as a transformer at HF, I doubt that it would handle
much TX power ... Carl - wk3c "mike" wrote in message ... Given I am currently using 75 ohm coax to feed my random wire, I believe I could use a 300 ohm to 75 ohm (4:1) TV twin lead to coax converter and get away with it. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think I would attach the random wire to one terminal of the 300 ohm input. The other would go directly to earth ground, or via a gas arc tube to ground. On the other side, I would attach my coax cable. To give the coax feeder a ground at the antenna end, I would to open up the converter and solder in a ground wire on the coax sheild terminal. This would kill off common mode currents. This would give my antenna feeder system a matching transformer plus give the antenna a direct path to ground. Theoretically, I am I missing anything? mike |
