Following this thread with much interest. I need a stealth antena and
a doublet may do the job.
Could I feed my K3/100 with ATU into a BL2 right at the antenna
connector, the output of the BL2
to home made ladder line, (2 to 4 inch spacing) to a doublet approx
1/2 wavelength on the lowest
freq?
The specifics on the antenna are that it is center fed. The actual
length of each leg is something that I personally do not know because the
ham friend that helped me with it has a special tape of tape measure that
is calibrated to measure antenna lengths. His is the only one of that
kind that
While I currently do not own the Elecraft T1 tuner, I do use a long wire
antenna with my radio. The HF antenna is hung as an inverted Vee with
both sides cut
for the 40 meter band. [[snip]]
Jim,
I do not understand this statement. How can a long wire antenna have
2 sides ? A long wire is
A long wire antenna can be fed at any point along its length, not only
at
one end, [[snip]]
Well, if its fed anywhere except from the end, I would call it something
like a dipole, doublet, center fed zepp, off center fed dipole etc. But
the true definition of a long wire is a wire that is at
Hmmm... isn't a definition of a long wire one in which alternate half
wave
sections are out of phase? [[snip]]
In all the books I've read it says that a long wire is a wire that is one
wavelength or multiples of one wavelength at the lowest frequency and
radiation of a long wire is basically off
Hello to the group !
I'm Rick - KC8AON, in Southern Ohio. Just joined the Elecraft group
because I am thinking of buying a T1 tuner kit to go with my Yaesu
FT-817. I have been reading some of the reviews of the T1 on the web and
most seem to be good reviews except for the enclosure they put
Gang,
Let me make myself clear on what it is I expect from the T1 and what my
plans are for it. First, I do not want resonant antennas for each band -
takes too much time to setup and take down when changing bands. The T1
will mainly be used for portable radio adventures which I do not get a
