The loading coil (at high power) results in high voltage across the insulator at the bottom of the "whip" which is a weak point (and will melt down!). Sounds like a great design! Thanks for your usual job of exposing the fundamental problems with poorly designed products. 73, Jim K9YC _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector |
