You are correct. It was a poor choice of words on my part. I understand the theory of velocity factor. I am still not sure about the lengths involved with the harness. If the 50 ohm sections from the loops to the tee can be any length, (as long as they are the same) doesn't that affect

Your logic is right, but your assumption that the feedpoint Z of each bay is 200 ohms is wrong. A folded dipole in free space is close to 200 ohms when fed at the open center of one side, but the dipoles in the DB array are close-spaced to the mast which drops the feed Z to close to

The DB-212 is a 50-ohm antenna with a 50-ohm feedline. You are combining two 50-ohm antennas at the tee which makes it 25-ohms. A section of 35-ohm cable brings it back to 50-ohms. Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - From: John Everson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:
