Amateur radio, recycling junque from the junque box!

(1/1)

John Hill:
The local club station needs an HF transmatch, so into the junque box to see what could be cobbled together..

Totally untested but I hope the tuning range is adequate to handle the long wire that is being put up.

Marauder:
Looks very nice from one Ham to another,Reminds me of a commercial transmatch i had several years ago worked well on long wires, always regretted getting rid of it.Let me know how you get on with it.  G0 C--

John Hill:
Hi, the circuit is based on the Ultimate Transmatch as appeared in ARRL Handbook for many years.  The original circuit had a very wide range but I am unsure if the coil from an old ARC5 transmitter will have enough inductance for 80 metres,  time will tell.

hopefuldave:
Maybe add another fixed inductor (or a pair) for 80 / 160M to the earth end of the rollercoaster, short with a Big Ceramic Switch when not required?
