Hi guys; i'd like your opinion on this project i made for my roof top antenna,to substitute the matching transformer.
first my Antenna rotator broke so i took it down and fixed it,it had some bolts that fell off then i had to take out the antenna 300 ohms to 75 ohms matching transformer,which broke upon unbolting it witch was bad luck,now i have no matching balloon an the worst part nowhere to buy it ,use to get stuff near here from Radio Shack which closed ,
i have also installed a SVA15PRSM distribution Amp near the antenna and a 12v SVPI ,these items were installed before, but inside the house closer to the receiver.
now story short,since i did not have the matching transformer ,i did not want to go by without tv i made a straight connection with coaxial cable ,took out the F connector and striped the coaxial wire connected ground wire to one side and the middle wire to the other, and for my surprise i never had so many chan and so good reception,but someone suggested me, due to water getting inside the wires to get a outdoor matching transformer.
well made this strait wire to connect from the antenna to the amp
as you see i cut 2 pieces of thin ground wire and connected and soldered an F type connector that i cut from type F cable connectors,
what you think about this? will it work?i know i should go up there and try! but up there are 50 feet high and no easy access and i'm not young anymore, so will this work at least same way i have now? thanks
