Re: Topband: CATV RG6 with messinger wire for support

2018-01-09 Thread Brian Pease
I have a 1000 ft bi-directional beverage that is built with RG-6 with 
steel messenger wire.  The wire seems to have no electrical effect but 
makes the beverage really strong.  A transformer at the far end puts the 
reverse-direction signal between the center conductor and shield.  2 
feedlines are used, each with a transformer.  I just copied a design 
that is out there.

Hello Guys,


I have been give a bunch of CATV RG-6 coax like the cable company uses. I would 
like to know if the coax with a solid support (messenger) wire will work 
alright for building beverages? It almost looks like it could be use for 
building a bi-directional beverage utilizing the coax shield for one direction 
and the insulated support wire for the opposite direction. Anyone have some 
experience with this? I have also thought of trying in as a BOG beverage.
