Hi Tony, nice to talk to you today, I told Jane you enjoyed the wine, she said she has a bottle in the ref., too bad your not here to have a glass with her since I don't drink wine.
If you can't find the Harris inductor, you may want to consider using only half of the tuner, i.e. one inductor/cap and FLOAT the tuner with the one leg of the feedline going to the normal output terminal and the other leg to chassis ground. You have to use a 1:1 balum on the INPUT. I have done this with 3 unbalance tuners with good results. Of course, the true balanced tuner is still the best way to go. I prefer the linked coupled type vs. the dual inductors type since common mode BC signal can be a problem if your are near high power AM BC stations. 73's Butch From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 3 19:57:14 2004 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [email protected] Received: from mail2.brightok.net (mail2.brightok.net [69.8.2.137]) by mailman.qth.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 87054859C5E for <[email protected]>; Wed, 3 Nov 2004 19:57:10 -0500 (EST) Received: from Wilhite ([69.8.16.8]) by mail2.brightok.net (8.12.10/8.12.10) with SMTP id iA40sD6l000091 for <[email protected]>; Wed, 3 Nov 2004 18:54:16 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Jim Wilhite" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of AM Radio" <[email protected]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [AMRadio] 10 meter AM Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2004 18:54:15 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 X-BeenThere: [email protected] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.4 Precedence: list Reply-To: Discussion of AM Radio <[email protected]> List-Id: Discussion of AM Radio <amradio.mailman.qth.net> List-Unsubscribe: <http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Archive: <http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/private/amradio> List-Post: <mailto:[email protected]> List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Subscribe: <http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 04 Nov 2004 00:57:14 -0000 No one has really mentioned 29.1 to 29.2.
