Hi all,
I am in the process of putting up a horizontal loop antenna and feeding it
with 450 ohm ladderline.
I have a knife switch that I am using to serve as a disconnect.
The knife switch is a two wire switch. By this I mean that it can
connect/disconnect two wires like what is found with 450 ohm ladderline.
The distance between the two parallel wires of the ladderline is about 3
eights of an inch wider than the distance between the parallel connecters on
the knife switch.
Can anyone tell me how this narrowing of the distance between the 2 wires as
they pass through the knife switch may affect my transmission/rreception?
Thanks and I hope each of you have a great Fourth of July holiday,
Kent Plemmons
