I might want to transmit through this some day using a random wire tuner but for now it will be used for SWL. Go ahead and hook it directly to a random wire tuner, and simply tune for maximum loudness on a given frequency. MFJ makes an inexpensive tuner for random wires. bob k5qwg Thanks, would rather get a 10:1 balun for now. Haven't had the time to google it but there should be some instructions on how to make one myself. Google "sw balun" and something like Sherwood Engineering. They build nice stuff and little $$ delivered, about $12.00 I believe, their design seemed to work better than the one's I made from various diagrams on the web........... |
