Equipment / Re: Magnet wire for free

Yes, hard times for all; but then we are "Green" except for the working middle class and elderly losing their retirement investments, and the poor now poorer globally, not just there.

Lucky we have a hobby for those cold winter nights ...

Equipment / Re: Best type of coax for an antenna feed line?
« on: September 23, 2022, 2108 UTC »
The answers here are way to complicated and techniques not necessary.

I feed a standard 347 foot horizontal endfed wire antenna with standard  ohm coax via a 9:1 coaxial balun.

My LDG tuner or FT-dx101MP does the rest with only one band at 2:1 SWR, and the rest 1:3 to 1:0 (of course, there is no perfect match, just a figure of merit).
