[AMRadio] Antenna Question

[Bernie Doran]

Bob: if the opw is close to babanced, IE dipole fed in the center, there is 
no radiation from the opw line. Balans should only be used to match between 
fixed impedances not an antena that changes all over the place, anyone that 
says otherwise does not undersatand balans!!! refer you to Jerry Sevich 
books, Understanding and using balans.
