[Premium-Rx] General Coverage Antennas for HF

[Carcia, Frank A. HS]

I found a series 6 dB pad helps when you are using an antenna tuner. I just
tune for maximum noise or signal and the tuner ends up being close to 50
ohms matched.
I have been able to transmit (on the Ham Bands) using this method of tuning.
I found receiver input impedance is not usually exactly 50 ohms. fc

Yes, that would be a good option. The antenna delivers more than enough RF,
so a 6dB pad won't hurt.

Thank you for that information - just what I was looking for.

I guess for it to work correctly into any receiver, the amp must see a
constant
impedance of 50R - so  would fit a pad (of around 5-6dB or so) between
the amp
and receiver?
