I thought all antennas got hot if you ran extra power (200 watts and up) through them?? |

why do you care if it warms up that makes cooking dinner easier just slide a couple hot dogs on there and you can talk on the radio and cook at the same time |

well.... if you put 16000 watts threw a 10000 watt antenna hmmmmm.is it possible that antenna is supposed to be voltage fed and yer current feeding it,i believe thats y they use 18 feet of coax,the ant base is at a voltage node,and the other end of coax is at a current node sort of,for connecting to 50 ohm connector. |
