I have taken ordinary lamp zip cord, split the two leads apart to for a 1/4 wave dipole and fed the end of the remaining length of zip cord with a balun to the rig (some zip cord is ~68-72 ohm balanced line, the mismatch is more than acceptable for field/emergency use.) Never, say never ... some ham will do it! Regards, JS Yes,some ham will do it, with a 3 Watt transmitter tucked into a Sucrets tin, and work 50 countries with his zip cord dipole. Now, I'd say, "That's the spirit!" Warm regards, JS |
