I was wondering if anyone on the list uses a DX Engineering DXE-ARAH2-1p active dipole antenna and how well does it work on 160 and 80? 73 Zack N8FNR _______________________________________________ U
I tried one of those, but the isolation from the feedline was insufficient, so the feedline became the antenna. The problem is that the feedline is a vertical "antenna" and produces a whopping signal
Did you try heavy common-mode choking? I am using an 8-foot Clifton Engineering active antenna on over 200 feet of feedline, and find that 10 turns of RG-58 on a big Type 31 core, placed at each end
active We are using one on the PJ2T CW Skimmer Server (located at the VERONA club station PJ2A in Willemstad, Curacao) and find that it is *not* working well on 160 and 80. Seems to work great on 40
The DXE unit already includes common mode choking internally. It is unlikely that inserting an additional common mode choke in series would help much. What is really needed is transformer coupling, a
