It is often mentioned that "very high RF voltages" are present at ends
of dipoles, voltage nodes on loops, etc. but I haven't been able to find
any guidance in the form of numbers. How high is "very high"? Assuming
QRO power into a full size apex up delta loop, corner fed, vertically
polarized, what will be the voltage at the apex? I haven't found a way
as yet to have EZNEC give me a value.
If I wanted to put a relay at a voltage point to switch a stub, how would I float the 12v DC coil from the RF present? Grant KZ1W _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - topband@contesting.com |
