To use a G5RV or any HF dipole conveniently to a Marconi T aerial on topband
you will need..
1/ A good earth
2/ A matching coil
3/ Double Pole Relay/switch
4/ Outdoor Box

This circuit is with no HF balun for use on a G5RV or half sized G5RV. If a
dipole is used with then a switched balun & more complex switching is needed.
With the relay released L is shorted out & the feeder is connected to the coax
in the normal way.
With the relay operated the feeder is shorted together & connected to the coax
via the L & a SWR triming cap C. The voltages can be very high (1kV) so a relay
or switch with good contact separation & contacts to spacing is need.
TUNING
Generally a series L (tapped 60 turns on a 3cm dia former) is all that is
needed to get the resonated Z down to near 50/75ê with most aerials. But if the
SWR is still to high at resonance the C across the coax (via RL2 contact) of
100-2000pF should bring the Z to an exact match.
BOX
A black plastic box is best. Hermetically sealed boxes really don't seal that
well outdoors. A better approach is to leave a breathing hole in the bottom
(lowest point) so that any water can drain way, but put a fine mesh over it to
stop insects. Paint up & spray all parts with a light oil to resist rusting.
Grease up well, all screws & connectors use outside so any water has no where
to go.
Why Don't U send an interesting bul?
