Hello all,
I want to use a 600 ohms : 50 ohms balun to match a 10 feet random wire to my HF receiver. From the book said, the wire should be 30 feet long for 600 ohms.
(Q1) If I reduce the length of the antenna, the impedance would be increased? If yes, how much is the impedance of that length?
(Q2) Can I use a L-C low pass circuit to make a step-up to replace the balun transformer?
Thanks,
trx
