It is great to see the technical discussion regarding topband antennas,
particularly the FCP. Thanks to K2AV for putting his ideas and design out
there for peer review. Hopefully the review process won't discourage folks
like myself, who are not antenna enginers, from trying various ideas,
With all due respect:
The FCP is a dipole. One end is vertical while the other is weaved horizontal
on or near the ground.
The 1:1 isolation Trasformer / Balun serves its purpose as well as stopping
those nasty common mode
conditions.
The FP and CY9 came on and I was not able to work them
The FPC Isolation Trasformer / Balun I am suspecting has a loss about 2 DB a
little more loss than a non isolated balun. Has any one ran any data on this?
Stay on course, fight a good fight, and keep the faith. Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
