Makes sense. The lower the return-loss, the deeper the null! 73, Charlie, K4OTV

Not always -- stubs made with higher Vf cables are longer, so in my experience they come out about the same for attenuation and bandwidth. The only way to get a deeper null (with the reduction in bandwidth you have noted), is to reduce the RF resistance -- this means larger diameter coax and a more robust shield, like hard line. 73, Jim K9YC _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
