Rich, I don't use any chokes on my 160m 9-circle RX array....located about 900ft from the shack.
Chokes on the lines of your antenna couldn't hurt. Snap-on chokes may not offer worthwhile resistance. 8, 50-ft radials each element. "W8JI" elements. No Hi-Z elements. I used his "touch-the-feed-line-to the radial ground" to see if there is any change to the impedance at the antenna. NO changes noted. I used 3/4-wl lines on all elements. RG-6 coax. RG11 to shack. Thru-the-coax remote control. See ON4UN's DXing book for a couple of photos. 73, Charlie, N0TT On Mon, 29 Nov 2021 08:13:48 -0500 (EST) Rich Dailey <[email protected]> writes: > Homebrewing a 9-circle vertical array, and I'm looking for opinions > from other 9-circle users on > what chokes you're using on the feedlines (rg-6) at the switch box, > and on the control line.
