| Feedline Mismatch Question | W1FL | on 22/10/13 |
| Thanks, however I do not use a tuner and the SWR is less than 1.5/1 on all bands. My question regarding the use of two 150 foot R6 cables in parallel has to do with the reduction of line loss. I realize the impedance would be reduced but probably the 15 ohm differential from 50 ohms will remain the same. Thanks |

| Another R6 question: The R6 works very well feeding the Hustler Vert. Since there are two R6 cables in this old sat. run. Would there be any advantage to running them in parallel from the shack to the antenna ? Thanks, Andy Knittle W1FL |

| Feedline Mismatch Question | W1FL | on 2/9/13 |
| I would like to feed a Hustler 5BTV antenna with a 50 ohm input with RG6 70 ohm cable that is available in-ground from a previous satellite installation. The cable length is approx 150 ft. I have a Ten Tec Eagle 100 watt with built in tuner. Is this a big incompatibility issue or will it work satisfactorily ? Kind regards, 73's |

| I still have the in-ground coax leading to the mast of an old 12' sat. TV dish. There are 4 separate coax cables in this special cable set. My question: Can I use the coax to feed a 50 ohm vertical antenna, and would there be any benefit in linking the 4 coax cables in parallel from the tuner to the antenna ? Thanks very much, 73 Andy Knittle W1FL |
