[NJARC] 75M AM QSO? (approx. 3880-3885 KC)

[John Ruccolo]

Hi John,

There's NO WAY I would run the Globe King into that antenna. That cheezy Radio Shack RG-58 would MELT before the RF got to the antenna. ;-)

Now I'm REALLY sorry I didn't buy that 500W Bird dummy load from you at Mullica Hill last year. Who knew? But the Globe is a LONG-term project (I was looking at it today in the garage), so I'm in no immediate need of a dummy load. I could be retired or semi-retired or institutionalized before I get around to it.

Not sure if it's any good, but I have a kilowaat fan-cooled dummy load from the legensdary Joe's Radio Shop auction in South Jersey, circa 1995.

The plan for this Spring is a half-wave 160M dipole -- not sure how I'm gonna feed it.

73,

John R. KC2UAK
