I HAVE DEVISED A AWESOME WAY TO LINEAR LOAD A T VERT WITH AWESOME
RESULTS...THIS WILL ALSO WORK ON A INV L OR FOR THAT MATTER ANY WIRE ANTENNA .
I? HAVE A 90 FT MARCONI T AND HAVE ELEC EXTENDED IT TO BE 120FT BUT STILL ONLY
90 FT FROM FEED TO THE T.? YOU TAKE 2 PIECES OF 1 INCH PVC 8 INCHES LONG DRILL
2 - 3/4 INCH HOLE ONE AT THE TOP AND ONE AT THE BOTTOM ON ONE SIDE OF THE PVC
TUBE DO THE SAME FOR THE 2ND. CUT 2?MORE 8 INCH PIECES OF PVC ?AND SET
ASIDE.NOW FOR ASSEMBLY IF YOU HAVE A 75 FT VERT T OR INV L NOW YOU WILL TAKE
THE ANTENNA AND SLIP THE VERT WIRE THRU THE TOP HOLE OF THE PVC AND ROUTE OUT
THRU THE BOTTOM HOLE DO THE SAME FOR THE 2ND PIECE TAKE BOTH PIECES AND SLIDE
THEM UP THE WIRE SO THE FIRST ONE IS 40FT FROM THE TOP TAKE THE WIRE AND
SECURELY TAPE THE WIRE TO THE PVC RIGHT WHERE THE WIRE EXITS GOING UP THIS WILL
LOCK THAT INSULATOR IN PLACE ON THE WIRE.MEASURE DOWN 20FT AND SLIDE THE 2ND
INSULATOR DOWN THE WIRE AND TAPE THE SAME AS THE TOP. YOU WILL NOW TAKE THE
WIRE AND FOLD IT AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE PVC AND TAPE SECURELY?IN PLACE.
THE WIRE WILL BE HEADED TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE T TAKE THE WIRE AND AND PULL IT
UP TO THE TOP INSLATOR AND TAPE SECURELY IT WILL LOOK LIKE A LETTER U ...THE
WIRE AT THE RIGHT TOP OF THE U INSERT IT THRU THE CENTER OF THE TOP INSULATOR
AND PULL IT THRU SO IT IS NICE AND TIGHT TAKE THE 2 UNDRILLED PIECES OF PVC AND
THREAD THE?WIRE ?THRU THEM TAKE THE TOP UNDRILLED PVC AND SLIDE DOWN 5FT FROM
TOP INSULATOR AND SECURELY TAPE THE 2 OUTSIDE WIRES TO IT ONE ON EACH SIDE
SLIDE 2ND UNDRILLED FT DOWN AND REPEAT PULL THE CENTER WIRE THRU THE BOTTOM
DRILLED PVC AND ROUT DOWN TO YOU FEED POINT ON A 75FT VERT WIRE YOU WILL HAVE
ADDED 40 FT HAVING A OVERALL LENGTH OF 115 FT ....THINK THIS THRU YOU ARE
INSTALLING WHAT LOOKS LIKE A LETTER Z TO THE CENTER OF THE VERT WIRE....I HAVE
BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS ON VARIOUS ANTENNAS NO FLASH OVER OR
ARCING OCCURS WIT 1500W OF POWER 73 AND ALL THE BEST RAY NR1R
