- The only caveat with N connectors is if you are running power into a load that is not mostly resistive. If you have a non-resonant or partially resonant antenna like an 80M dipole that you are using

- Caveat - not an expert here. Steel wire is often stretched to increase its tensile strength at the expense of elasticity. I do not know if EHS is normally prestressed. If it is, then you would probab

- A 1/4 wave vertical over perfect ground will have an impedance of 36 ohms. That would be a roughly 1.3:1 SWR with 50 ohm feedline. Without radials, you will have a complex impedance of real and imagi
