From the electrical point of view it is the same, assuming low loss coax.\n\n David 4X1DG\n ----- Original Message ----- \n From: Howard Kowall \n To: AMSAT BB \n Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2011 3:28 PM\n Subject: [amsat-bb] Cushcraft 416-TB\n\n\n Hello All\n I acquired a Cushcraft 416-Tb antenna,the so called phasing harness was in bad shape,so I am going to make a new one for it.\n I could copy the original one,but yes I am making it hard on myself and decide to calculate the proper cable type and length,and to do that I need to know how the antenna actually works.Here is my problem ,the 2 driven elements have a balun to each of the Tmatchs to make the impedance 50 ohms on each driven element.The original phasing harness is 2 piece of 75 ohm aprox 13\" that goes to each driven element and the a so239 connector on the other end of the harness is the 50 ohm feedline.I originally thought this was a matching stub,but when I do the calculation for the matching stub,should only be aprox 4\" to each driven element.Am I missing something here,how are they able to do this,does anyone know this antenna and how it works.\n Thanks to all who read and respond in advance\n Howard VE4ISP\n\n _______________________________________________\n Sent via [email protected].
