Re: [IRCA] Recent logs from Moody, Texas

[James Niven <niven43@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Craig,
On each antenna there is a 9:1 matching transformer with 6 turns on the receiver side and 18 turns on the antenna side. The terminating resister is 680ohms. The toriod is FT-114-43 purchased from Amidon. Each antenna is feed with 4 separate RG6 runs to a 4 position rotary switch.

Thanks
 
James Niven

Hi James,

Did you equip your EWE with an impedance matching
transformer and a terminating resistor?
