Perhaps many Hams today do not realize that when the "UHF" connectors were developed (in the late 1930's IIRC) 30 MHz was UHF!
73 Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- This discussion is getting VERY far afield from the topic of connectors used on HF equipment. However, the analysis in this tome is rather flawed, which renders the conclusion the author draws misleading at best. The flaw is that the author measures the impedance bump at the connector, computes a quantity called "mismatch loss" that is fictional in most ham antenna systems, and decides that there is massive power loss in the system. Most of us who do anything serious on 2M and above use BNCs and Ns at those frequencies. But I've visited several big contesting stations built by very good engineers, and UHFconnectors are the weapon of choice. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
