There is nothing magic...
about a resonant antenna,
other than the fact that it's impedance is purely resistive.
This makes it a good match for coaxial cable and with a resistance
suited for a modern transmitter. But thats it. There is no other magic to a resonant
antenna. Just use your antenna tuner with your antenna on any frequency of your choice.
You'll get out just fine! |

Now a word about Ol' Morse... |
Morse lives on. Hams are keeping it alive for the sheer joy of the art.
The owners of many a cargo ship still find it cheaper to pay a Morse operator than install expensive and quirky satellite gear.
The robust clarity of Morse has found it a spot in some surprisingly high-tech applications, such as moonbounce,
for instance, in which experimenters bounce very-high-frequency signals off the moon.
And it’s not widely known, but tucked discreetly into the shining digital control panels of
the ultra-high-frequency radio used aboard U.S. space shuttles is a tiny, collapsible telegraph key, just in case.... |
"
I Shin Den Shin
"
This word is frequently used among Japanese CW enthusiasts, originally coming from a Chinese
proverb. It means "to communicate with each other's mind without speaking any word." |
