I uploaded a new YouTube video about using CAT6 as a feedline for receive antennas. I show how to design and make passive transformers to match the 100 Ohm pairs. I also describe a modification of my TI amplifier that I use from my BOGs to match the CAT6.
About 20 years ago I was using CAT5 for feedlines, so using twisted pairs is not new. It's been around a long time. However, I'm expanding my phase Beverages arrays and feeding them with CAT 6 helps consolidate feedlines and control voltages into fewer lines in the field. It is possible to find some very tough, outdoor direct burial CAT6 that can work well. https://youtu.be/i44PU8NJf1M 73, de steve ve6wz _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
