I cross posted this in he QRP but then it dawned on me you folks may have a better insight to this question.
I finally snagged my dream antenna, a Hygain 18HT! Yes after almost 50 years… So here is the question…. Should I feed the base with: -75-ohm coaxial cable (I can get some of that easily to bury about 100’ from the house? -use an auto-tuner at the base or feed it like they say and feed it with 50-ohm also 100’ from the house. Go…. De KG9H _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
