Been reading the encouraging posts. So, I got up and heard good activity, working: VK3HJ - ZL1AZ - VK2WR at Ohio SR and up to 20 minutes after, when the band faded out. Gud to hear Luke, Dennis and A

Wait.  There's such a thing as an "accodion inductor"?  I thought I knew everything. I'll be glad when mowing season is over, too. 73 - Mark N5OT Gud to hear Luke, Dennis and Adrian coming through so

I've not heard the term "accordian" applied, but the Tornado Tuner expands and compresses a coil inside some pvc pipe to change L about 2:1. I have one (split) to tune the full 80m band at the center

When I was a kid, we had a guy WB6ZKK who touted dipoles made of slinkys.  I am thinking some of the same electronic theory and design must have come into play. Tree will remember.  Long live the old

Maybe I will beat W6DGH to this... WB6ZKK was pushing barb wire dipoles. _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector

Okay then, who was making dipoles out of slinkys?  Barbed wire is not germane to a discussion of either accordion inductors or Tornado Tuners. Back on topic, I re-read K9YC's presentation about 160 m

A bad idea when the Slinky is steel. Helical wound copper wire antennas do work, for TB we used a wound vertical on a FG pole at H40TT. It was amazing to me that EZNEC will auto generate a helix wire

I have a drawer full of slinky's the steel version.  I recall that someone was making slinky beverages for people that could not stretch out 300 plus beverages.  I never got around to making one.  Ma

I remember the Slinky's being copper plated. I wonder if the skin depth lowered losses on 160 meters. Mike N2MS _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Ref
