- No. Part of the reason is there is no really "simple" answer is that at least two "correct" ways exist for answering the question: a pure "physics" answer and an applied "engineering" answer. Either

- Another thing that may not be so obvious is that one should only be using the RS 222-C coefficients (2/3 & 0.004) with basic wind speeds read from a RS 222-C wind zone map, not with basic wind speed

- Assuming a goal is to match the vertical's feed-point impedance of 30-something ohms to 50 ohms, those two methods don't sound to be equivalent to me. In fact the second method sounds backwards. Odd

- Duhhhhh! Chad's right of course. The 1/4 wave transformers are there to boost the impedance of the individual elements up to something in the vicinity of 200 ohms so that when all four elements are f
