Understanding and building my first EFHW

Hello Remy,

What core are u using? I assume a FTxx-43?

I would try a 49:1 and a 64:1.

I made a few more winding’s then I connected it in my garden to the 20m long wire and I tried to match it that it goes to 50 ohms.

This was my result. Now I’m making every core with these exact windings.

For your understanding:

2 primary
14 secondary
16 total

16/2= 8
8^2= 64
So 1:64 transformer.

Correct me pls if I’m wrong.

And maybe drill the wire better. It looks like u made only 2.5 turns.

Happy crafting.
