2021-1-1 · Title: Static discharge control from open wire line antennas? Post by: ke7trp on May 21, 2009, 03:15:27 PM. The past few weeks I have not been able to talk on the radio much due to static building up on my Wire antenna. This antenna is 60 ft up horizontal fed with 600 ohm open wire line. This line feeds to the Johnson KW matchbox.

I consider "nearby" to be within 5 or more miles. Although not foolproof, I decided to inductively couple the outside antenna with the internal bar antenna.

7.) Install the tube (s) you want to getter or burn in. 8.) Install the cover and connect the amplifier to your radio normally. 9.) Plug the amplifier in. Be sure the cover is on and has several screws. holding it on! High voltage should read 1/3 of normal. If the tube arcs at this voltage, it is “junk”.

2014-5-7 · Many antennas don’t have a means of bleeding off static build-up. This includes the popular Hustler BTV-series of verticals, dipoles without transformer-type baluns, and many other antennas. While this is typically not much of a problem, I am always concerned about possibly damaging my antenna analyzer when I first connect it to an antenna.

Without shims, these springs will provide an empty Syncro Westy with a ride height of roughly 19," measuring from the center of the wheel/axle to the lower lip of the fender. A 1/8" shim upfront, and a 3/16" shim in the rear will provide ride-height of roughly 19.25" on an empty Syncro Westfalia.

2006-2-1 · In radio transmission, the energy is radiated from a resonated antenna and returned through the ground plane. One of the first electrical coagulators for surgery was reported by Card in 1910. This device had a motor driven rotating disc as a static generator with a spark gap, a Leyden jar as a capacitor, and a resonating coil.

2012-2-14 · The ball also has 2 spikes - this was for static discharge FROM the antenna - the ball is for large ones, the spikes are "bleeders"

Thinking out loud, I'm thinking of antenna spark gap setups where a regular ~1m resistor was placed across the gap for a static drain to constantly DC discharge an antenna. In the event of a hit, a globar might actually survive? (inasmuch as a lot of the energy would be in …

One contemplates a TUBE PA for one reason, costs for SS PA is crazy high. (and in no real hurry so manual tuning to you is not a bother) The entry level for SS is by RM. A better PA is a Heath SB220 or 221, with twin 3-500z tubes (now hard to buy).

2021-7-16 · If the VSWR meter in your transceiver isn't accurate, connect an external VSWR meter. Or use your hand held antenna analyzer or VNA if its accurate. Your VSWR should read near 1:1. Now connect your choke across the dummy load. A properly built choke should have no effect on the VSWR reading and as a result will not affect antenna performance.
