Re: [IRCA] Miscou Island Prelim DX Report - Long

Bert,

A little more than that. The antenna has to be terminated to work
properly. I use a 2.5K ohm pot set at about 900 ohms.  I have several
ground rods at the termination point. The antenna should be fed with
coax and a matching transformer. I wrap my own. It is less money and
they work well. You want to isolate the antenna from the lead in. You do
not want the lead in to affect the directivity. My 22X100X22 EWE runs to
the NE and is directional to the SW. Aimed at the Philippines.

73,

Patrick
