Working on a Multiband Portable Antenna

Maxwell 1:1 "when thou divest into the pool of antenna work, dive carefully, but with great zeal."


This ball can roll a mighty long ways:

Verily, I say unto thee that in the days of the Prophet Maxwell . . . “


Any of this fun aside, it’s fact I ask for help of the sort alluded. Have received it, too, I believe. As I’ve heard the relief in the voices of other men they’ve gotten answers to questions asked about The Road. (“Wow, that guy is a long ways off. But the connection got made. Somehow”).

He gives power to the weak . .

The current coil, on the left, and the one the bad coax made me doubt, on the right. Forging ahead.

Homer,
One more for your list of possible future projects:
Tak-tenna. (y)
I tried one of those. At that time it was an abysmal failure. Very difficult to tune, and very narrow bandwidth. AND, during a solar maximum, provided very few contacts compared to my worst antenna.
I decided life was too short to keep trying to tweak it.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
