This transformer is designed to be used with an end fed half wavelength of wire only. "Just received my new 64131 yesterday and was anxious to see how well it performed. We are working every day to make sure our community is the best Radio Hobbyist's site. Repeater Basics Here is an ARRL The major point of this message is to tell you that approximately 20 minutes after I connected the balun unit to the antenna, I made contact with a gentleman in Italy-my first European contact!! Swr usually is all over the place and the tuner will just not do it's job. Do what works best! 5 0 obj
I'm looking forward to getting off work and hitting 40 & 20 meters again!! endobj
End Fed Antennas. For calculating the length of a half wave in metres, I use 141 (MHz) for wire elements. The following wire connections do not need to be made in the order I described. Jack, VE3EED, hopefully has solved a major headache we all have when we attempt to go thru the trial and error and frustration with getting the random wire to work where WE want it to work. For reasons that I do not understand, adding a capacitor between the coax conductor wire (untwisted free end of short wire) and the ground (twisted free ends of long and short wire) can increase the functional bandwidth of the antenna on the higher HF frequencies.

Engineering the EFHW 49:1 Transformer and Antenna The length of a half wave antenna is calculated using the following formula: L (ft) = 468 / f (freq in mhz).

Usually any wire length that is non resonant on the band or bands desired will work with the 4:1 ratio. Upon further research, I remade it tightly twisting those two separate wires together, just as it shows in archjeb's picture, and it worked surprisingly well. When used with the stated lengths shown in thetable below, the 9:1 ratio will Based on the success of our model 4932, this 5kWconfigurationisalso perfect for matching both long and short length wire antennas for multiband use. excellent page for EFHW info - or, addressed below, to cut the wire <>/ExtGState<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/MediaBox[ 0 0 612 792] /Contents 4 0 R/Group<>/Tabs/S/StructParents 0>>

That's it in a nutshell..or is it? Performance is ASTOUNDING, far exceeding my expectations. Turns 1 & 2 are primary windings (the short wire).

Step 1: Drill holes for and install the SO-239 or BNC connector, the stainless steel machine screw antenna connector and the ss machine screw ground connector. Because I had some spare Cu-Wire I wound another 1:49 Unun on a smaller FT-140-43 toroid and tried different capacitors between feedline and ground (to compensate for the 10m band). presents an extremely high impedance to the tu One single wire, no solder connections,very simple.all the way from the tuner to the end support. At multiples of half wavelengths of the It is used fornon-resonant verticals like 43 foot or 33 foot Or Wire antennas like an End-Fed1/2 Wave Multiple Length Wire Antenna.
