Hi
RG59 is 75 ohm and RG58 is 50/52 ohm. I'm sure the noise is not coming from this difference, but swr may be there..

Hello all,


I finally put up a beverage antenna...about 400 feet long. I am feeding it through a 9:1 transformer with some 50 ohm cable ( RG 59). I am finding that it is noisier than my transmit antenna, contrary to what it should be. The wire stays about 6-8feet above ground. ground rods at each end, etc.

Any thoughts on the problem and a cure?


Thanks,


Carol
