Subject: [TowerTalk] High power 2:1 transformer was Re: 16om vertical and the
number of radials
A somewhat related question - as the R component at the feedpoint of my
inverted L goes down toward 25 ohms, I've begun wondering if I should do some
matching at the feedpoint, rather than using my tuner in the shack, even though
feedline losses at 160 are relatively low. Can someone point me toward a good
way to do a 2:1 downward transformation? I already have a common mode choke at
the feedpoint.
