fun with loading
How would you guys who are stuck in an endless thread of loading coils like
to take on 'linear loading'?? are the currents the same at each end of the
loading line?? do they cancel completely along the length of the loading
line? does the loading line replace so many degrees of the length of the
elements or cause some kind of delay???
the antenna i am working on is an m-squared 40m4lldd where, for example, the
reflector is 50' tip to tip, about 10' out from the boom there is an
insulator, a rod about 9' long connects with a metal bracket on each side of
the insulator and folds back toward the boom where they are connected with
an aluminum shorting bar that then uses a piece of phillystrand that goes to
an element truss support bracket. then of course beyond the insulator is
another 15' or so of element, the tips are adjusted to tune the elements.
