Toward the end of October I plan to set up a ten meter beacon at my QTH on
Cayman Brac and leave it running.
My question is:
What is the EASIEST way to protect the rig (HTX-100) if something goes wrong
with the antenna and the SWR goes high? Haven't tried to figure out what the
worst case SWR would be with a dummy load in parallel in the house and the coax
either open or shorted at the antenna. I'm not worried about power going into
a dummy load. The antenna will be a quarter wave vertical within ten feet of
the salt water and it will be plenty loud. Would rather activate a coax relay
and send all the power to the dummy load if the SWR went high but not sure what
the least expensive solution is to do that?
Thanks... Stan, K5GO
