Hi gang,
I am back with an observation and another source of wonderment.
If I set my antenna coupler for minimum SWR (Drake MN75) I use a
certain setting to effect this. If I use my antenna noise bridge
set for X = 0 R = 50 ohms, I get a slightly different setting on
the MN75. Could it be the output impedance of the xmitter is
slightly different from 50 ohms? It leads me to wonder which
tune-up procedure to use. I seem to trust the noise bridge
setting as I get out like I am running 100 watts. If I can hear
them, I can work them. Just curious. Us qrpers need to pursue
all electrical phenomena and explore all possibilities because we
refuse to make up for slop with power.
