The most versatile problem-solvers are K9YC's favorite large #31 snap-on beads. They are large enough to accept multiple turns (which greatly boosts the CM impedance compared with beads) and can be snapped on to an existing cable without removing any connectors, so it only takes a few seconds to create a highly effective CM choke wherever in the station it might be needed. For more details, start here <http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek/in-prac/index.htm#big31> and then follow the links to Jim's site and to G3TXQ's site. Don't leave home without at least two or three of these beads in your baggage. 73 from Ian GM3SEK ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
