I am working on this concept continually and have been making many changes trying to choose the best all round option to run with. I have had good signals into VK6 over 3000 km away from the loungeroom on 10 watt, also into VK4,VK2 & VK5. This is a work in progress that I intend to settle on a design and then share it with the Broader Ham Radio Community so we can get more Enthusiasts experimenting with alternative approaches to generating an effective TEM wave for HF radio comms in a limited space. I hope you enjoy the journey with me Just as much as I enjoy sharing the exploration ! I keep flipping between using remote & manual magnetic tuning options and using a run of the mill ATU / Transmatch. So far, I can't quite get max efficiency with a regular ATU though I am confident that I will find a config that is pretty close on the intended bands. I may end up creating two versions. One to be used with a Regular ATU/Transmatch at the station and one more refined version with remote DC controlled resonance adjustment option. (Goodness knows what to call it)? 73 from Crazy Ham ⚡🙏⚡
