Re: [amsat-bb] NEW: backfire helix webpage

[k0vty@xxxxxxxx]

A couple more questions.
The insulation in the matching stub that prevents the shorting of the
helix to the reflector ?
Looks hard to be able to support the monofilar helix.
The number of turns ?    Needed for the good axial ratio or beam width? 
Or both?
The "N" connector  center pin turns normally .  how was this caputred ?

Thanks
