once upon a time a long time ago i saw somewhere in a magazine or book, or maybe someone told me, or i heard at a ham club meeting or flea market, or i had a dream while in heart surgery, or my wife told me that a 300 ohm TV twin lead dipole is not all twin lead, but the twin lead is shorter than a half wavelength and at each end a wire continues to make half wavelength length of the dipole.
anyone do a dipole this way? or heard or read etc etc about this technique? thanks mike w7dra and..................the half wavelength of a dipole by formula is 468/f, 468/1.8=260 * TV twin lead veolcity factor of .8 or so would bring down the half wavelength to a little under 215 feet................. ____________________________________________________________ Woman is 53 But Looks 25 Mom reveals 1 simple wrinkle trick that has angered doctors... http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/50c4edd0677896dcf7a91st01vuc _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - [email protected]
