@Packard_Sonic This is why we’re called Hams: http://bit.ly/ZRoSX # RT: @NT7S Please, for the love of God, enough with the Ham Radio/Swine Flu jokes already! I’m begging you. # You may have noticed that the popularity of balanced feed lines is on the rise. There are a number of reasons why, and I may get in to that in another post. Right now I want to share with you a table that should make quite clear what the advantage of balanced feed line is. A balanced feed line really outshines unbalanced (coaxial) feed lines when feeding a balanced antenna that is not resonant on the frequency of operation, such as in the case where a single doublet or dipole is being used as a multi-band antenna. Take for example a 100 foot dipole elevated to 50 feet. This . . . To read the rest of this article, please click here: → Why The Uprising in Balanced Feed Line Popularity The strongest solar storm on record occurred in 1859 during a below-average cycle. Typically stronger solar storms accompany above-average sunspot cycles. This was quite the exception. The 1859 storm shorted out telegraph wires, causing fires in North America and Europe and sent readings of Earth’s magnetic field through the roof. But, it produced northern lights so bright that people read newspapers by their light!
