Aloha to all, I joined this list a month ago to ask a question about an xv222 that had a bad crystal. Since then, the most fascinating threads abound here most, stretching far from Elecraft matters. Cool!
I would like to state that I am no expert to balanced feed lines but reading here, I must state how forgiving this medium is. I use twin lead for my arrays, 144 thru 1296, splice this and that, solder blobs, different wire sizes, whatever. All my micro wave and vhf/uhf stuff comes over 400 feet back to the house at 28 and 14 MHz IF's, simple 600 Ohm tiwn lead built open air style on short utility poles. This stuff is so forgiving and to the uhf and up enthusiast, Much quieter than coax. Kind'a like the Bi-Polar and the FET in the first days of the transistor....who made the mistake of going the Bi-Polar way anyway, we must have lost 20 years of technology to this. I'm for twin lead, and strip lines. Tnx fer a fun list! 73 Jeremy w7eme _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
