Re: [TowerTalk] Topband: 160 vertical advice

[Rob Atkinson <ranchorobbo@gmail.com>]

Typically a series fed inverted L that's 1/8 vertical roughly, and the
rest horizontal over an adequate buried ground system will give a
feedpoint impedance of around 10 to 15 ohms and a mismatched to 50 ohm
vswr of 4 or 5:1.  Usually when the feedpoint impedance is much higher
there's ground loss.
