Ok Thanks Clemens, I dont think we could have
chosen a more interesting hobby if we had tried. I will post on the reflector
how every things goes over the weekend and hope to be ready for Chris's next
transmissions I an about 15 km line of sight from him.
Many thanks for your help.

Assuming worst case,10kOhm for the
soundcard,
you had a maximum mismatch loss of
only
0,9dB,which is totally neglegible,particularly on
LF.
Sounds good!

Hi Clemens.
How about a 50 ohms in 4k out filter with
the knowlege that the sound card input Z can be anything from 4k
upwards.

The 50-Ohm-termination at the output of the
LP filter represents a
50-Ohm-*source* which is looking into the input impedance of the
soundcard.
Hence the gross (power-)mismatch (SWR
80).
For such high impedances at vlf
(=audio) frequencies
voltage matching would be much more
efficient.

Hi Clements.
Are you sure, shunting a 50 ohm resistor
with 4k ohms reduces it down to 49.38 ohms or am I missing
something?.

Ken,
>I am doing a Low Pass Filter to
use with Winrad, F1, 20kHz, F2, 30 kHz, 100kHz -80 dB
(theoretical) with a >characteristic impedance of 50 ohms,
with this high input impedance I can locate the filter very
close to the sound >card mic input and terminate the filter output
with a 50 ohm resistor.
Assuming 4kOhm input impedance of the
soundcard this will cause a mismatch loss
of around 13dB (95% loss) which may or
may not cause concern depending of the signal
level of
your antenna.

Thank you all LFs.
Thank you for all the info that you
sent me, it looks they can be anything from 4k ohms upwards, this is
ok for me, I am doing a Low Pass Filter to use with Winrad,
F1, 20kHz, F2, 30 kHz, 100kHz -80 dB (theoretical) with a
characteristic impedance of 50 ohms, with this high input
impedance I can locate the filter very close to the sound
card mic input and terminate the filter output with a 50 ohm
resistor. Hopefully this will eliminate the BC intermod I was
experiencing when trying to receive Chris G3XIZ the other
day.
