High loss coax can really reduce your output power. A coax with a 3 dB loss will suck up half the power, allowing the antenna to radiate the other half. End of part 1. Part 2 Antenna SWR Have you ever measured the SWR of a simple antenna? It should NOT have been 1:1 Lots of people think that a good antenna should have a 1:1 SWR as measured by an antenna analyzer. We need to look at what SWR means, and how an "antenna system" is different from a simple antenna. Unfortunately, we need some 6th grade mathematics for this explanation. One way to find SWR is to make a fraction of the coax and load impedance. SWR is really a simple fraction that puts the larger impedance in the top of the fraction, and the smaller impedance in the bottom of the fraction. It is done this way so the answer is always equal to, or greater than, 1. Let's try this to see what I mean. SWR =72/50 = 1.44 which means the SWR is 1.44:1 Lets try this again using a 36 ohm vertical antenna with at least three un-grounded radials.
RadioSport Memorial to G3YCC - QRP SITE The QRP world heard of the passing of Frank G3YCC - who most know of from the masses of information he put at our disposal through his website. Frank put a lot of time & effort into this and it would be a great pity if that work was lost. Permission to reproduce his site has been granted by Frank's wife who is pleased that he can be remembered in this way by the hobby he loved. The maintainer of the site, K3HRN, believes it should be a living work in progress as a tribute to Frank, and will make corrections and additions as occassion warrants. Please report any broken links, missing files, etc to K3HRN.

How it works Laser printers and photocopiers use plastic toner, not ink, to draw images. Finding the right paper The perfect paper should be: glossy, thin, and cheap. Paper preparation I discard pages heavily printed, preferring pages with normal-size text on white background. Printer setup Laser printers are not designed for handling thin, cheap paper, so we must help them feeding the sheets manually instead of using the paper tray. Printing Disclaimer: your laser printer is not designed to handle this kind of paper. This is my PC thermometer circuit printed on IEN magazine paper. How to cut raw material PCB material is fibreglass like, and a trick to cut it effortlessly is to score a groove with a blade cutter or a glass cutter.
