Hoping to get some guidance from the antenna gurus here.
I’ve just built a 43’ vertical (14 GA THHN) supported by a Spiderbeam pole.
It’s base loaded and my RigExpert shows total loss, not counting Rrad, of 33
Ohms. It’s roughly 33 efficient.
Can someone tell me if I added two top hat wires 16 GA THHN sloping at 45
degrees “about” how long they would need to be to resonate at 3.545 MHZ.
I want to get “in the ballpark” before I start trimming.
Any help would be appreciated!!!!!
73 e DX,
