I have a 160 meter vertical (ground plane) that now resonates on 1530 KHz. I want to put a capacitor at the feed point to raise resonance to 1830 KHz. Do I put the capacitor in series with the vertic

Seems like ON4UN in his LowBand DXing book used an omega match for shunt fed towers where the natural reasonance was below the band: a series capacitor from the feed line to the feed point and a shun

Hi Phil - My 72 ft 80 meter vertical (which is also my 160 transmit antenna) with top loading resonates at 2.9 MHz. I matched it with a fixed series capacitor which goes directly to the feed point. Y

Phil, A series capacitor may do it for you....but that will only remove inductive reactance, what ever it is, equal to the C of the capacitor. if you can not achieve the VSWR you can live with then y

Don't forget to put a static bleed choke or resistor from the vertical to ground if you are using just a series capacitor from the vertical to the feedpoint. 73 Chris, G3SVL _________________________
