so i've decided on a price on the near-center loaded antenna, coils, grey box with the trimmer caps and resonance metering. i'm looking at $270 (not including cost to get it to you, whether it be shipping or throwing it up on the ladder rack of my truck and personally delivering it to you in the new england region)
the grey water-tight box will have power, and ground terminals under it. transmitter and power source is not included.
this antenna tunes up wicked easily, can withstand high wind when properly tied up, and has an SWR curve that most people get with a baseload. will work great with any transmitter between 20-50 ohms. transmitters with internal matching circuits will have to be modified. there are minor and mostly cosmetic modifications i will be making to this as well on any future builds
Nice to see a new product coming out, and as Carl Blare might say, proudly made in the USA!
After getting a decent transmitter working, the antenna is probably the second hardest item to acquire, when building an AM station from separate components.
