Re: [Elecraft] OT: B & W antenna

I have heard several stories about what it has for a resistor on it, if anyone knows for sure, I would be most interested. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T2FD_antenna 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 12/10/2015 1:20 AM, David Cole wrote: The BED-90 works fairly well on 75 Meters, about 2 S units

Re: [Elecraft] OT: B & W antenna

I would not touch any antenna that uses a resistor. That is what a dummy load is after all - great SWR but the losses are huge. I built a T2FD when I was newly licensed back in 1984 (when I didn’t know any better), from an article in Practical Wireless. I used the specified resistor and built

[Elecraft] OT: B & W antenna

The B & W antenna was/is a T2FD. I have several rolled up in my shed, and all National Guard armories in Montana have them in use. 73 - K0PP On Dec 9, 2015 19:00, "Charlie T, K3ICH" wrote: > I forget the name of it, (MAX-something) but there was an "antenna" > produced back

Make that BWD-90, not BED-90. -- 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:

Re: [Elecraft] OT: B & W antenna

All Guard armories everywhere had/have them since I was a teenager [when dirt was young]. They served/serve a specific purpose very well, wide band coverage where nobody is trying to work DX. We had fan dipoles [2 or 3 freqs] in SE Asia, tough to tune, especially on missions. Fortunately,

Re: [Elecraft] OT: B & W antenna

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
