[Elecraft] Wire Antennas and feedline for the KX1

Hi, Chuck. I usually don't add the transmission line in the EZNEC model, just the source. I then take the source data for the frequency of interest and plug it into this tool where I can play around with different kinds of feedline, add a balun, calculate optimal feedline lenghts, etc:

I do the same as Martin writes. Modeling transmission lines with Eznec is difficult for me... You could also use TLA by N6BV. 72, -- ___ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze
