Hi Louis, Having been subject to wallet deprivation pain syndrome all my life, I painfully identify with the almost overwhelming urge to go with the low-cost solution. But here's my equally painful f

Scott, have you measured the self-resonant frequency of your tower with beams on top? If it's anywhere close to 1.8, it will drastically affect the feedpoint of the L as you show it. Without knowing
You're really a pushover today, Steve. This would have gotten the LXC wouff hongg out in earlier times... :) Given that it's a push-up mast, I'd say a C3SS. Unless it's one of those military masts, i

This is the one point I'm having problems with. A loading coil does not radiate significantly, and it's properties will not vary with distance from the ground (say 65 feet vs. 100 feet on 40m). I sus
Concrete in the ground is never dry unless you live in a the middle of the Sahara. It will adjust to the moisture level in the ground. Don't ever expect concrete to insulate you from ground, if the c
