Mike ,

I think that WD-1 is 150 ohm someone on here posted that.

So I am now looking over your.....Chart of turns ratios paper..trying to understand it.

I maybe in over my head on this stuff...not real sure how to read the chart.

I'll have to do some more reading.

Thanks

Fred, those transformers are the wrong impedance ratio for WD1! They are
for 420-450 ohm wire. WD-1 has a much lower impedance.

Thanks to everyone with some very good advice and good ideas
I am now looking for a good place to buy the WD1-TT.

Also I have wound (2) 6.25:1 transformers and (1) 1:1 reflection
transformer using the info from Mike’s (W0BTU) site.
I assume these transformers will work with any of the 2 wire Beverages
that's been discussed here in previous posts.
