- One extra question: how to feed such an antenna? If through an unbalanced

- undersized dipole on 80 through a 1 KW air balun. The balun gets warm and
- the performance at 100W out is similar to .5W out with a regular dipol. I
- think that at SWR 10 and above, which would be normal for a ladder-fed
- dipole, multi-KW balun is needed to handle just 100W. The best option
- would be a symetric tuner, which is clumsy to build. Any comments?

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- I know of only two ways to do a good job of feeding a multiband, balanced
- antenna. (By "multiband" I mean one which is fed at frequencies far away from
- resonance.) One is to use a balanced tuner. Link coupling is ideal for this.
- The other way was described by Al Roehm, W2OBJ in the second ARRL Antenna
- Compendium. What he did was to use an unbalanced tuner and put the balun
- at the tuner input. The problems with doing this are:
-
- 1. It can be very hazardous. If the tuner is in a metal case, very
- high RF voltages can appear on it.
-
- 2. It must be very well isolated from ground. Even the capacitance to
- ground must be very small.
-
- A balun will work only if its winding impedance is much higher than the
- load impedance. This isn't much of problem if the load impedance is no more
- than a couple of hundred ohms. But a multiband antenna fed with twinlead
- feeders can present impedances in the thousands of ohms. You might get lucky
- and not have a really high impedance show up on any of the bands you operate.
- (It depends on the frequency, antenna length, feedline impedance, and
- feedline length). On the other hand, you might not. Depending on the balun
- type and construction, and the relationship between the balun and load
- impedances, the balun might do nothing, work properly, or get very hot and
- possibly ignite or explode. I'm very skeptical of claims of baluns which
- can reliably work when presented by the impedances you can get feeding a
- multiband antenna. Al Roehm's method works because it puts the balun at a
- known, reasonable (50 ohm) impedance point.
-
- Good luck!

-
- Brian, IMHO, the "dipole" fed with open wire line, or 450 ohm ladder line is
- the best, most versatile HF antenna for amateurs who want to operate all
- HF bands. Some combinations of antenna + feeder will yield easier matches
- with your tuner on most bands, but some compromise is generally necessary
- (see Bill Orr's Wire Antenna book). Generally, the more wire you have
- in the antenna (or radiating part), and the shorter the feedline part- the
- better. However, feedline lengths of even 100' should not cause significant
- loss.
-
- If you choose the 260' model, you may care to have yourself a mini vee-
- beam (effective at about 10.1MHz and above) by placing the "legs" at about
- 90 degrees, and pointed at your favourite DX direction. Being
- unterminated, you get long and short path, depending on time of day,
- propagation etc. Approximate all-round operation is obtained at 1.8 thru
- 7MHz. My main HF antenna is one of these, the apex only 34' above ground,
- and the 135' legs each droop down to about 20'. The intersection of the
- legs points LP to Europe. This is the best DX antenna I have ever had.
- Even when conditions are poor, I can mix it with the big boys with their
- kW and rotatable beams etc.
-
- With so much wire in the air- some sort of lighning protection is
- advisable. It is a good plan to ground the feedline with a "Frankenstein"
- style knife switch when the antenna is not in use. Also provide a spark-gap
- to ground for each side of the feedline as extra insurance should you forget
- to operate the switch.

-
- This is exactly what I am talking about. The rules changed many years ago.
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- My oldest copies of the Code of Federal Regulations (where the complete set
- of FCC Rules and Regulations can be found) only go back to the early 1980's.
- Field strength limits were all that were specified then and these limits have
- steadily declined since then. I THINK the FCC went to field strength limits
- back in the 1970's. In any event the current rules have no provision for
- anything but radiated field strength limits for unlicensed transmissions on
- the FM broadcast band. There are only three bands where maximum power level
- and antenna length are still specified other than spread spectrum above
- 902 MHz: the 175 kHz band, the AM broadcast band, and the 49 MHz walkie-talkie
- band. Even Part 15 devices in the 27 MHz band are now specified as to maximum
- field strength limits.
-
- Allow me to make my point again...
-
- RTFR... READ THE RULES BEFORE OPENING MOUTH AND INSERTING FOOT!
- ^^^^
- The FCC has considerably tightened the regulations on unlicensed transmitters
- over the years. The allowed power levels are FAR lower than most people
- suspect. They are NOT as one prominent ham poster has said, the field
- strengths that would be obtained from a 100 mW transmitter operating into a
- 1 meter antenna. Read the rules and do the near-field calculations. You
- will find the FCC wants a VERY short range on your Mr. Microphone!

-
- OK, pals.
-
- Here's a list of Ham related Mac software. The files are in a .HQX format,
- so just thorw me some mail and I'll send you the files you want.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- DX Map 1.1
-
- The following is from a help field that can be accessed from within the stack.
- This stack requires the version of Hypercard to be 2.0 or greater.
-
- This stack enables amateur radio operators to find the location, bearing, and
- other information for the 'DXCC' countries of the world. It also displays the
- day and night portions of the globe dynamically.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- MacDOVE
-
- MacDOVE is a simple FORTRAN program for decoding or converting recorded DOVE
- telemetry packets into engineering units on a Macintosh 512K, Plus, SE, SE/30,
- or II-series computer. Note that MacDOVE does not decode packets directly
- from a TNC but from a file of packets previously recorded. Both the
- source code and the application are available from the address below.
- The present version of MacDOVE does not use any of the special
- window/menu/mouse features of the Mac
- and so the source code should be compatible with other machines.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- MorseTrainer US-1.0.1b20
-
- MorseTrainer is a program for learning and training Morse code. This is the
- first translated version of the program which originally was developed and
- localized for Sweden. The program itself can be considered a final version
- of v1.0.1 but the translation is probably not perfect, hence a beta-release
- instead of final-release.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- SunClock
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- PacketTracker
-
- For the network manager and BBS operator, PacketTracker provides extensive
- insight to the operation of the local network and the problems such as
- excessive retries on a path.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- SPARKS-II
-
- Morse trainer type.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- WORLDTIME.sea
-
- 1) It tells you what time it is in other cities, taking into account
- Daylight Saving Time/Summer Time.
- 2) It automatically resets your computer's clock at the beginning and end
- of Daylight Saving Time/Summer Time.
- 3) It allows you to change the location of your computer as it is stored
- in your computer's memory and reset the clock appropriately.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- MORSE CODE TUTOR
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Morse Mania
-
- This program was written as a practice program for people already
- familiar with the International Morse Code. It allows the user to
- practice copying Morse code at various speeds and at different audio
- pitches.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- MorseMaster
-
- This program can read any TEXT file, but the interval of carriage
- returns should be less than 256 characters to send correctly. You can
- open large file, but normally the latter part is truncated
- (If it is too large, an alert box appears).
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Grid
-
- This Macintosh program (MacBinary format) converts between coordinates
- (longitude, latitude in degress, minutes, seconds) and the grid square
- locator used by radio amateurs, and vice versa. The old European QTH
- locator system is supported. The distance and heading between two points
- on earth can be calculated. The program will automatically recognize the
- coordinate system used: longitude/latitude, worldwide grid square locator
- or European QTH locator.

-
- HR ARRL NNJ SECTION BULLETIN 94-002
- FROM ARRL NNJ SECTION MANAGER RICH MOSESON, NW2L
- JANUARY 11, 1994
-
- TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS / NNJ SECTION:
-
- Amateur radio and the ARRL were well-represented at today's hearing by
- the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy on its
- proposal to regulate RF transmitting sources in the state. DEPE
- officials had said that amateur radio would be exempted from the
- proposed registration and fee proposals for now, but did not include an
- exemption in the proposed regulation, and specifically invited comments
- on whether amateurs should be subject to them in the future. The public
- hearing in Trenton on January 11 was attended by approximately 50
- people, some 25 percent of whom were hams. None of the approximately 20
- speakers supported the proposed regulation.
-
- ARRL General Counsel Chris Imlay, N3AKD, and ARRL Northern New Jersey
- Section Manager Rich Moseson, NW2L, spoke on behalf of the League and
- its more than 5,000 members in New Jersey. They were joined by state
- Army MARS Director Sanford Weinberger, AAA2NJ/N2BOT, and several other
- hams. Other ARRL leadership volunteers at the hearing included Southern
- New Jersey Section Traffic Manager Gene Bond, WB2UVB; Middlesex County
- District Emergency Coordinator Stan Olochwoszcz, N2AYJ; Morristown
- Emergency Coordinator Harvey Klein, WS2Q; New Jersey Phone Net Manager
- Dave Popkin, W2CC; Local Government Liaison Bill Sohl, K2UNK, and Hudson
- Division Assistant Director Ben Friedland, K2PBP.
-
- Testimony was opened by Vivian Lopez, N2NZN, who challenged the state's
- authority to impose the regulations in the first place. Imlay and
- Moseson, representing the ARRL, argued that only the FCC had the power
- to license and regulate radio transmitters, and that applying the
- proposed regulations to hams would effectively preclude amateur
- communications in New Jersey -- a violation of FCC rules. A specific
- exemption for hams was requested.
-
- Written comments are due by January 20, although the comment period may
- be extended. A final decision on the proposal must be made by next
- December.
