- 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 _________________________
