1. Re: [TowerTalk] Topband: Inverted L Tuning Question (score: 1)

Dick, I ran some simulations. There is very heavy coupling to the tower. That's not such a bad thing. The tower current is 180 out-of-phase with the inverted-L current. The GND return current is the

160 meter QRP effort: The Great Salt Lake of Utah is indeed great. With a conductivity nearly 4X that of sea water it provided a great ground for a balloon vertical. And that with nothing more than a

Many have had Beverage termination resistor fail due to nearby lightning strikes. These parts are available at Digikey (digikey.com). This component is a bulk ceramic resistor capable of absorbing 14

How many of you operate topband with small antennas? Perhaps we can get a dialog going on how to do this successfully. I presently use a 22' top loaded vertical that will soon grow to 33'. For contes

Very good. Another experiment would be to ground the coax shield 20' from the antenna as you did but with no ferrite beads. I suspect you will see similar results. Yes you have a 108' dipole comprise

The loss is quite small with the small wire. Running 100 W the loss going from #12 to #26 wire is about 4 watts. I would not bother with a balun. It will work fine without it and what's a little feed

Art, what is the nature of the noise? Do you hear signals every 300 Hz or are they spaced further, such as 20 kHz? The reason I ask is to determine if the motor controller is a simple triac OFF/ON de

Trent, the vertical will outperform the loop at 8'. I can send you plans for a vertical that works on 160, 80 and 40 meters. Simply feed with coax and it covers 20 kHz on 160 meters, 50 kHz on 80 met

Trent, another solution that works well, is relatively inexpensive, and uses off-the-shelf components is the Hustler 5BTV vertical. It works on 10, 15, 20, 40, and 80 meters. Add a DX Engineering top

Craig you are right. A helical vertical will be out performed by a top loaded vertical. The top loaded short vertical will have higher radiation resistance resulting in a better signal. Designing and

For the 5BTV on top band the radiation resistance of the 22' top loaded vertical is about 3 ohms. The RM80S "resonator", or top loading inductor loss is 20 ohms (that is high). Given a GND loss resis

The radial system you have will be fine. What you give up is matching simplicity. The T will need a base series capacitor as a minimum and an L-network if you like a 1:1 VSWR. At 1.5 kW the 370 pF ca

T-vertical, 10 kV? It appears I punched 15,000 W into the calculator. The signal improvement going from the resonant T to one with longer horizontal wires is quite minimal, about 0.1 dB. Dave WX7G __

Ed, Let's compare the 90' top loaded vertical against a 90 foot vertical without top loading wires. Mechanically it might be nice to not have the top loading wires. In that case the radiation resista
