- Good morning all! I am in the process of building a "new" 160 station. The object is: 128' base insulated tower (located, I think) 1 kW Bauer 707 TX 7/8" rigid transmission line What I need is guidan

- K8GG replies: If you are base or series feeding 128 ft of 45G tower, the approximate impedance is 37 ohms over a good radial system. One suggestion: With 75 ohm hard line one can use a 2:1 UnUn to dr

- And depending on how long the line is, quite small losses in RG8 on 160M. 37 ohms is quite close to 50 ohms, there will be at least a few ohms of resistance in the radials, so additional losses due t

- I use a homebuilt T-network in the shack and feed the vertical directly with big CATV hardline. I cannot imagine that the added complexity of remoting the tuner to the tower base would be worth the

- When you have a low impedance antenna (in this case ~35 ohms) going to a higher impedance feed line (either 50 or 75 ohms), I would use a hairpin coil across the feed point rather than a tuner at the
