    Texas Star Linears on the amateur bands?

    you just confirmed what i stated. you said "slightly lower efficiency" well that slightly lower is more than your making out to be. as the radiator isn't going to want to radiate it fully. and it has been agreed earlier in this tread, that if the amp is ran within it operated tolerance. 12 to...

    The 5/8 and .64 debate!

    i needn't do the experimentation. as so many antenna companies have made, them tested them. they have everything it takes to do what your asking of me. hollow words. as i 5/8th wave needs added inductance to equalized the extra capacitance that a 5/8ths wave is inherent with to make a 50 ohm...

    Texas Star Linears on the amateur bands?

    another option would be to use a tunable "within the band" single band antenna like a loop. it can't send out harmonics if the antenna isn't resonate "able to spew them out". the antenna then becomes a filter itself. an antenna tuner is a filter too. so build an antenna for each band you want to...

    The 5/8 and .64 debate!

    hello, as i've read from one or more post here. "that an antenna that isn't a resonate of 1/4 wave of the frequency, it wont work." then why do so many 5/8th wave work. doing it better than a half wave antenna. we all know the longer the tuned radiator is the stronger the received signal...
