Re: Topband: Kites?

Hi

Keep in mind a 1/2 wave vertical feeding inpedance 1-3 Kohm this means 
high voltage ?
ON4UN tried on his isolated tover for 164m 40m high to do so on 80 m, 
and only worked on low power ?
Ended up with 4 1/4 wave slopers on the top 80m  the best vertical will 
be a 3/8 wave concerning feeding impedance
