Re: [IRCA] Beverage antenna kit

[Chuck Hutton <charlesh3@xxxxxxx>]

What I would ask this fellow is what ferrite material he used. Hams tend to use cores good from 2 - 30 MHZ and they don't work too well when used for LW and most of MW. A popular ham core is Amidon type 43, and it certainly is not optimum for LW.
 
And if I am going to pay someone to provide me with a mounted, enclosed termination resistor I would want to know it is a carbon composition type, rather than the extremely more prevalent carbon film resistor which can't take any kind of energy from a lightning discharge.
 
Maybe his stuff is recommendable for us, and maybe not.

The kit includes a 9:1 transformer with a BNC coax connector and a 450 ohm terminating resistor. Both are contained in very nice looking waterproof boxes and look to be professionally made. The kit is $24.99 plus shipping. It is e-bay item number 320426006857.
