OK; But suppose it's 102.5 Ft. to the shack? 73 de Jerry, KØEJF E.J.(Jerry) Forwood -- "Pat W" <patw at cmgate.com> wrote: I think the question was how to recreate the same characteristics of the G5RV but only using Ladder line. The G5RV does have a nice low Swr on 40 meteres due to the transformation in the 33 feet of Ladder line. To recreate the same performance, the coax needs be replaced by a 1/2 wavelength section(at 14.1 mHz) of Ladder line, about 69.5 feet, depending on VF. 73's Pat W0OPW ______________________________________________________________ Antennas mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/antennas Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:Antennas at mailman.qth.net
