181. Re: Topband: Measuring Inductor Q (score: 1)

Jim is on the right track here. I have a slightly different approach. What I like to do is make a parallel resonant tank with the inductor under test and a high Q capacitor. (Any NP0/C0G ceramic will

OTOH, I did the opposite experiment, adding 64 radials over a screen. The signal strength didn't change, but the drive impedance dropped from 70 to 36 ohms. Rick N6RK ________________________________

The only way to do this is to do what I do, which is to have a 450 ohm balanced to 50 ohm balanced transformer at the antenna, and operate the open wire line at fairly low SWR. Any 160 meter vertical

In general, a vertical or inverted L, with or without top loading, that is resonant on 160 meters with a low (<50 ohm) input impedance will also be resonant on 80 meters, but with a high (>1000 ohms)

The higher radiation resistance and lower ground loss of the inverted L is illusory, because the additional radiation represents horizontallly polarized waves, which tend to be inefficient for commun

Let me try this a different way. At least at my QTH, a vertical usually produces a MUCH stronger (10 to 20 dB) signal than a low (60 ft) dipole, except for locals. Therefore, any radiation produced b

For a T, the sum of the vertical wire plus half the top wire should be 1/4 wl for resonance. For example, a 90 ft vertical needs an 80 ft top wire if 1/4 wave is considered 130 ft. This is a rule of

There are some issues with the ionoshere that affect verticals and dipoles differently at MF, as opposed to HF. EZNEC doesn't even claim to model those effects. I put up a full size dipole at 16 mete
