Hi everyone, Is there any reason why it would be in advisable to mix RG 8/U with LMR- 400 feedline on my 150 foot run from the 80 m loop to my...
I am about to install a 6BTV at the bottom of my back yard in an area with trees (not deeply forested), and I thought to sense check my approach...
Good morning all: In looking at transmission line options for my fence-top doublet antenna (in an attempt to get 10-40M for my FT-891) I went...
Hi all, I recently purchased and put up an mjf-1778. I know it is not efficient in a lot of ways, however, the SWR results I am getting are very...
I recently learned how coax can be represented as three conductors: the center, the inside braid, and the outside braid. As we know it's often...

I have run into a stash of over 1000 ft. of RG-8 coax that I was told wouldn't be missed. The catch is, it has been sitting in climate controlled...
I am specifying components for some club go kits, (transceiver, sound cards, laptop computers, antennas etc.), and am trying to compare coax. I...
I have two antennas. One is a Comet GP3 for UHF/VHF and the other is an Alpha Delta DX-CC Fan. Both are about 33 feet high. I had RX 8x coax,...
This is how I built a dual stub coax notch filter for under $30 using RG-6 coax. Enjoy. Comment any corrections if there are any mistakes. Use...
I have received different responses from numerous people and all of the answers conflict one another. Question: How much RF power (wattage) can...
For the pictured test case at 14.1MHz, does changing coax length L effect SWR seen by the rig? Yes or No? [ATTACH]
There are many different types of RF or coax cable connectors available. But what are they and what are their different characteristics. The...
In looking around my shop to see what "surplus" wire I have in enough length to use for a fan dipole, I have several hundred feet of RG58 on a...
So I have moved and installing my old antennas out doors was way but now I need to get 2 lines of coax in the house most of my set up is stealth I...
So from some of the diagrams I've seen, it looks like one connection of a ladder line connects to the feed point of the coax while the other...
Hi Guys First, an easy one: I would like a recommendation on which type/brand of coax to use on all my cable runs (all < 150'). When I put up...
Antenna rebuild time: My Western HF 10 having been rebuilt after eight years now has a new feeder IE 450 ohm as it should. The 450 ohm feeder...
I'm interested in adding a balun to a portable dipole and doing some before and after measurements to confirm there is a reduction in whatever...
