15 Meters is Open

<< < (2/2)

RobRich:
I was thinking it was you that mentioned checking a balun and replacing coax, which apparently was a very good decision. I can about imagine the losses if an onboard tuner was easily loading an 80m OCF on 30m through the previous coax. ;)

Not sure what model you have, but even a basic LDG Z-100A will handle 4-800 ohms, so potentially up to 16:1.... complex impedances aside. I suspect that model or similar should handle 15m for your 80m OCF easily enough. 30m might be doable as well, though a good chunk of power might be dissipating as heat, too.

Yeah, I have an LDG Z-11 Pro2. I'll try it out when I have the time.

Elf36:
I have an old fiberglass collapsable measuring stick that I painted black. It would be good to use for a 15/20M vertical. I just gotta figure out where to install it.
