Re: [TowerTalk] antenna impedence and ground impedence??

[Pete Smith <n4zr@contesting.com>]

Some years ago, Jack Belrose, VE2CV suggested that one of the better ways 
to approximate ground characteristics at a given frequency would be to 
erect a precisely measured low dipole just high enough above ground to 
accommodate the limitations of your modeling software, and then tweak the 
ground characteristics in the model till the resonant frequency of the real 
dipole and that of its model match.  This sounds like an approach that 
would largely overcome both the inhomogeneity problem and the frequency 
problem.  Critique?
