Re: Topband: alternative feedpoint capacitor

My top-loaded vertical needs a series 260pF capacitor at the feedpoint to match the 53 + j335 impedance (1.825 MHz) to my coax feed. I have a few different air-variables I could use, but I was wondering what sort of fixed capacitors would be suitable in this application. Max power is 1500w. I

Jon, There are ready-made place for TB , with TX antennas . It is necessary to organize the good RX only . I used VK5ZVC coaxial loop and preamplifier  AMECO PT- 3 http://www.qsl.net/ra0ff/t88ow/ 73! de Eugene RA0FF, ex.T88OW http://www.qsl.net/ra0ff/ Четверг, 6 августа 2015, 7:35 -04:00 от

Thanks for the cap suggestions everyone, and for the V and I calculations Tom. Ideally I'd like the 300pF (or so) vac. variable and so will watch for a decent deal on one. In the meantime, I will parallel four 50pF doorknobs (7500v and 1.8A at 1 MHz) and single 100pF variable with .05 plate

Still needing T88 on 160, I noticed this this: http://www.palauislandhome.com/index.html If a ham lands the job, I'll mail some wire for Topband :) 73/Jon AA1K _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
