Re: [IRCA] An ignorant question about BOGs

Ron,

There are companies that sell the torrids to wrap your own matching
transformer. They are very inexpensive. I don't have a link to the
directions on wrapping your own, but you can type in "matching
transformer" into Google and find into. Plus I think Mark has some info
on his site as I remember. The FT43 transformer (I think the number is),
has 35 wraps on the primary and 11 on the secondary. That gives you a
pretty decent match. I just solder banana plugs on the end of the RG6
and the female banana jack on the box. It works very easily. You can
build the little transformer in a plastic pill bottle, a box frfom Radio
Shack. I use plastic and they work fine.

73,
