Was your nose itching yesterday? I was thinking that I hadn't heard from you in a while!

How about somewhere in the extra portion of 20 meters?


20, 40, and 80 have and some local traffic but not much. I was tuning in
on 12 meters and thought I heard a FM station out there.... more listening

this ng. The days of people arguing about feed line length versus swr
seems like a distant memory. Are there any old timers here who want to try
and turn the tide?


Jim, this place is a sewer because of Steve. He's a pure lowlife
impersonator who has chased the regs out of many groups and now he's getting
what he deserves. No actually, if and when he dies a horrible death, then
he will get what he deserves.

It's hard jim with all this bull**** but I wrote a post about it about
a month ago.

Hey old buddie I still think 18 feet of coax on a mobile setup is
better than 12 foot for resonance and swr. Hahahahhaa LOL!!! Let the
arguments begin....

Hell you could of written a post 3 years ago and it would still suffice.

hehe just figured out who you were. Feed length 'does' make a difference
when calculating swr

How have you been??? Last I spoke with your wife you were not too
good. It has been a while....

Hello Jim:

Yeah 18 feet seems top work well in a mobile installation. Why is that?

Is it because the antenna puts RF Energy on the coax outer shield due to
a lack of ground surface. In all my antennas installs it seems that way.

So 18 feet of coax is roughly 3/4 of a wavelength, ( with a velocity
factory of .66) and any RF Energy coming back will have to come back
thru another 3/4 wavelength of coax.

Maybe that length vs wavelength is the best to use. Your comments....

Hey Jay, I was taking the **** when I posted that. We've seen many posts
on this subject in the past and was fishing for someone to start an on
topic post. It was an SWR vs feed length thing. I don't believe so with
the limited length in a mobile installation (though you quote 18' which
is particularly long IMHO). In your opinion why does it matter?
Regards, Jim.
