[Antennas] Reducing Losses in my ZMATCH

Wed, 27 Nov 2002 11:06:33 -0700

Hi,

I'm trying to improve my ZMATCH, following the instructions of W6JJZ in 
NCQRP web site. Currently my one is using a T130-2 core and in the W6JJZ's 
article mentions the option of using T130-6 because the Q is higher. I'm 
quite concern about the losses that I'm perceiving when I use the tuner (by 
means of my Field Strength Meter) in 20m. With the T130-6, I mean with a 
core of high Q the efficiency will be better and I will get less losses? 
But with high Q the bandwidth of tuner will be less, narrower isnt' it?

Any experience on that? I'm going to perform some tests with T130-6 versus 
#2 but I will appreciate any comments about another way of improving the 
ZMATCH and reducing the losses
