Actually, for a T-top, the approximation that is closest is to add HALF of the top loading wire to the vertical portion. For example, a 90 ft vertical with an 80 ft top loading wire looks like a 90 +

1. 160 can have weird conditions where you think you are not getting out, or the other station is listening on a beverage pointed away from you. You should try more stations in different directions.

My MonstIR Yagi has a 50 ohm to 22 ohm balun that is good from 7 MHz to 54 MHz (I measured it on a network analyzer). In your case, you only need an "un-un" not a "bal-un". Even easier. You can simpl

The possible reason not to use 1/8 spacing is that the drive impedance is lower, and ground losses will increase. If you have an excellent ground system, you might actually get the extra 1 dB, otherw

"Matched" refers to the filters having identical response to each other. As opposed to matching the characteristic impedance of the system they are in. Rick N6RK _____________________________________

The concept of the helically wound vertical (HWV) is appealing: no lossy loading coil, just a low loss wire. The "proof" of this is that you can run a kW and the antenna does not get hot. It is easy
