The BED-90 works fairly well on 75 Meters, about 2 S units down from a dipole, but it has a 1:1 on almost any frequency between 3 MHz., and 30 Mhz., which is fine for me as I am using a KW for MARS work, and we are on clear frequencies...
I have heard several stories about what it has for a resistor on it, if anyone knows for sure, I would be most interested. -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net For MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info For Dopplergram information see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dopplergram/info For MM-SSTV see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info On Wed, 2015-12-09 at 19:17 -0800, Fred Jensen wrote: > All Guard armories everywhere had/have them since I was a teenager [when > dirt was young].
