Lots of aerials show a dead short to DC, don't worry. It's the impedance at
the operating frequency that matters. Try it, transmitting low power, with
an SWR bridge in line.

 I bought an ISOPOLE antenna for the 220 band on ebay a couple of years ago.
I was NEW in the box. I am trying to use it now and it appears to indicate a
DEAD SHORT. I have heard of antennas being a rotatable dummy load, and all
that. But thought that something as simple as this should be a breeze.
Perhaps someone else has had a similar finding with an ISOPOLE vertical that
discovered some magic pill?  Any help would be appreciated.  - Mike
