Re: Topband: Fw: WD-1 Wire impedance

RF measured two different batches of the Plastic covered WD-1A   wire. One was 130 ohms and the other was 150 ohms. Lot of hams use it for two wire beverages with good luck.   1. Remember postings saying Beverage wire  size  could be very small if it could be physically supported. This

Hi Gary, Thanks. This must be it. Hope it helps the OP. win.i1wqrlinkradio.com/archive/OH2BEN_Reversible_ Beverage_Array-20-10-2007_04d.pdf 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Mon, Oct 10, 2016 at 5:03 PM, kd9sv wrote: > Mike, do a search for "Killu" wire from Finland...the author

Sorry, that's not the correct thread. I'll have to find it later. It had to do with with a ham in Finland (?) who actually did some measurements and may have posted them online. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Mon, Oct 10, 2016 at 4:52 PM, Mike Waters wrote: > Here is a thread

But believe the WD1A really works well at this QTH in both forward and reverse modes. I have made many direct comparisons on extreme DX on 160 and the WD1A was the difference it too to hear the weak signal. My tests on the VK0 and VP8 Dx-peditions with a 600 foot single wire Beverage and the

Hi Herb and all, When I was in the Army, 1958 to 1960,, I was a "Field Communications Crewman". It meant, I helped string telephone wire. We used what was called WD-1TT. It was two separate conductors. They were twisted, not molded together. Each conductor was made of 3 steel wires and 4
