Coverutilizes integralneoprene gasket for weatherproof integrity. All you need for a random wire antenna is some wire, your tuner, one or more supports up as high as you can get them to string the wire from the supports to the tuner, at least one or two insulatorsand a little time. Well, I didn't think it would make any difference at that many multiples. 4 0 obj
this Power Handling (CW/SSB): 100 W/200 W Enclosure Width: 2.500 in. An Unun is used to match an unbalanced line to another unbalanced line. https://elginradio.wordpress.com/2017/10/17/end-fed-half-wave-antennas/. The most important length is one that is non-resonant on any band. thank you. >> ?7{*. He was so impressed that he purchased a 9:1 unit from you, his will be delivered Saturday. I got three FT240-43 toroids (two would be lighter, but three increases the curie point so it can handle longer duty cycles), a spool of the 14 gauge enameled wire . endobj
The "Super Bullet" End Fed Long Wire Antenna Matcher - 1500/3000 watt rated for Super-Punch of your signal! This will be for an eyehook in order to provide strain relief for the radiator wire. $1YacO5Q}YC\>qZ } Suggested wire lengths for 1-61 MHz operation (measured from Bullet wire point): Bands Covered (meters) Wire Length (feet) Minimum Coax Length (feet) 40-30-20-15. This is the latest and greatest transformer design for End Fed Half Wave (EFHW) antennas. is that for a given ham band there are min and max frequencies which /Length 10 0 R Care to buy us a beer? 1 X FT240-43 Ferrite Toroid Core 43 Material(Mouser Electronics), 1 X SO-239 UHF PANEL JACK S/CUP SO-239(Mouser Electronics), No. Here is an ARRL "I received my third balun from Balun Designs this afternoon. The following wire connections do not need to be made in the order I described. The bandwidth where SWR was below 2:1 was about one MHz. The magic lengths to use with the End Fed longwire is 29, 35.5, 41, 58, 71 and 84 feet I use a 29 foot wire with my PackTenna 9:1 balun for 40m-10m and then add a 28 foot length for better coverage on 80m when needed. So, if you connect a length of wire that presents an impedance of about 450 to the input, you'll get an impedance of about 50 on the output. stream I plotted the results for the U.S. CW band edges for use with my4 band Elecraft K1 qrp rig. I actually did this first and before the connector was bolted to the box. NEMA rated 4x marine grade junction box for outdoor installations. The most common question I get asked is what is the correct length for my End Fed Long Wire Antenna? While these lengths have been shown to work well on many bands, which rig, often with no feedline, and the other end in the air attached to When on the trail, at Field Day, or whenever a good antenna is The ratio doesn't need to be 49:1 2,400 ohm either, other ratios will transform to other impedance. As an example, a 28-31 foot wire will typically allow 40 thru 10 meter coverage and a 43-50 foot wire will provide access to 80 thru 10 meters. The length of enamelled copper wire per winding for the T-200-2 powdered iron toroid core is determined by length per winding = 50mm per turn plus 250mm tails. So for example 80m could range in length from 120 to 133 feet. Post Reviews You will also need a half-wavelength length of wire (14 or 12 gauge typically) in order to construct an antenna radiator for whichever ham band you choose.

Product Reviews This transformer is designed to be used with an end fed half wavelength of wire only. Use only the white gaps for your antenna lengths, and if The vertical (y-) axis shows the VSWR and the horizontal (x-) axis shows the frequencies. In the first year using this unun with a random length endfed wire (Aluminum Elec fence wire at that) I managed to confirm WAS via LoTW on 10m, 15, 17, 20, 30, 40, 80. . Random wire lengths you should and should not use! . For instance, to work 40m be sure the antenna is at least

This transformer is designed to be used with an end fed half wavelength of wire only. Bullet 50:450 (9:1) HF Unun, 1.8-61 MHz, 1500 Watts, End Fed Antennas. EFHW unun Resonant Long Wire 49:1 Transformer With BNC or SO-239 | Mobile Phones & Communication, Radio Communication Equipment, Antennas | eBay! The free end of the untwisted portion of the long wire (past the 14th winding) will be secured to this bolt as well on the inside of the box, while the radiator will be secured to it on the outside.

Capacitor 100pF 3KV Assembled and tested. This is a followup video to #344 where I assembled the 49:1 UNUN kit from HF-Kits / ARRL. So for example 80m could range in length from 120 to 133 feet. doing the initial 468/f on C and D scales. 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.

Contact Update guys:made the unun,the antenna was extended to about 37m length,and I added a counterpoise which is about 10m.The whole thing is much higher in the air,compared to where it was before. Two pieces of 14 gauge enameled wire (e.g., Thermalese), one short piece (about 1 foot in length) and one long piece (about 7 feet in length). Liquidtight NM 90-Degree Connector(Home Depot). I included the tools I used to analyze the transformer as well; this is only necessary if you are interested in analyzing your project.

Attaching a counterpoise wire to the common point of the auto-transformer provides the antenna radiator something to push against rather than the coax shield. Vhf and Up Continue on winding the long wire through the toroid to complete loops 3 through 14 as shown in the schematic below. Thank you so much for such a great product! %PDF-1.5

The kit includes the parts needed to construct a 49:1 impedance matching network, which will transform the impedance to 50 Ohms, which will suit most transceivers.
