NA SOTA Day Overnight 4-summit Trip Sept 2012
Read More9 / 43
The short piece of RG-58 coax runs to a W2AU 4:1 current balun, and the doublet's 40-ish feet of 300-ohm twinlead (the el-cheapo type made for TV antennas) takes off from there. I used a dual banana plug and banana jacks to allow the twinlead to be easily disconnected from the balun for transport. The balun was designed to be at the center of an antenna and is also designed for high power, but it's all I had on hand when I decided to toss together the doublet a few days before heading out on this activation trip.
