Getting ready for Field Day here.
The only bands we seem to have problem on are 40 & 20 with the two
stations hearing each other.
So plan on making up a pair of stubs, for each station.
Now from wat i have found seems pretty simple. and will this actually
be correct?
It looks like the 1/4 wave (electrical) on 40 un shorted will block 0 an
pass 20 yes?
and the exact same stub shorted will pass 40 and block 20 yes?
so adding at the far end a small SPST toggle switch should make a easy
switch 20 or 40 stub yes?
Now I plan on using them in the usual manner right at the rigs with a
"T" connector.
To make them we plan on using a MFJ 259B
The way they say to make a stub using it is pretty plain and straight
forward and easy, "BUT"........
I'm assuming I should include the "T" when making the stub to have it
include the extra length it is making.
Now what do I do with the open end of the "T"?
does it need to me terminated? like with a 50 ohm dummy load? o9r left
open is ok, or what?
Anyone?
