I uploaded a new YouTube video about using CAT6 as a feedline for receive
antennas.
I show how to design and make passive transformers to match the 100 Ohm pairs.
I also describe a modification of my TI amplifier that I use from my BOGs to
match the CAT6.
About 20 years ago I was using CAT5 for feedlines, so using twisted pairs is
not new. It's been around a long time.
However, I'm expanding my phase Beverages arrays and feeding them with CAT 6
helps consolidate feedlines and control voltages into fewer lines in the field.
It is possible to find some very tough, outdoor direct burial CAT6 that can
work well.
