[Hammarlund] antenna terminal to coax

[K2GKK D C_Mac_ Macdonald]

SOME TV baluns to take 300 Ohm to RG-59 connectors MAY help.

Many years ago, I had an HQ-145X (regret having sold it).
It was the first ever new radio I bought!  I still have the speaker.

hi all

it is nice to see this list waking up again.

I finally found time to get my HQ 145A working again. How do you guys
connect coaxial to your Hammarlund? I built a twin lead to bnc matching
network which works ok. The problem is, It seems like any coax I connect to
it becomes part of the antenna and picks up hiss before I even connect the
outdoor feedline. My HQ 145a also has  PL259, I am not sure if it is a mod
that the original owner installed, but it seems to be not as effective as
the external matching network.

regards
