Since COMTEK is back-ordered at this time, I'm trying to phase two 75 meter
verticals using the old coax trick. When fed directly with 50m coax, each
antenna resonates at 3.8mHz fine, with good SWR. However, when I add the
quarter-wave matching section, I can't get the SWR down to a low level below
2:1 above 3.6mHz, despite how much I shorten the verticals. The phasing line
is made of 50 Ohm coax cut to the followng formula:
246/3.8=64.7 x .66 (VF)=42.7 feet.
What am I doing wrong?
73,
Brad
