Dipole box

Dipole box

 

Please read note below!!

Note : Experiance and measurements (and advice from fellow hams like Egbert PAØEJH). have shown me that it's better to use a FT140-43 core and the guanella winding style. All the dipole boxes I make today are based on that core and winding style. More info about this at : http://vk6ysf.com/balun_guanella_current_1-1.htm .

Old article text : For fieldwork and to experiment with variouse dipole configurations I needed a dipole connection plate, but also i would need a 1:1 current balun to get it free from skin current.

So a small box, a piece of PE, a bit of hardware and a T200-2, a bit of 1.5mm wire and a hour in the workshop everything got together.
