If you want to make it really easy, and work good, change it to 2 elements,
space the elements about 1/4 wave (with split driven element that is) and
it's 50 ohms. Feed it with coax and go. Make a great and simple field day
antenna. Oh yes, I know, modeling will show it probably won't work. I've
been using that configuration here on 20 and 10 (well, not so much 10 right
now) for about 5 years and I like it. Works a lot better than the TH-3 it
replaced. 73
