Hi all again
Here is what i have come up with by hand an a calculater an on4un book
234=90 deg elec=127 ft 8 in @ 1.830 f/mhz
117=45 deg ele=63 ft 9 in @ 1.830 f/mhz
69.08=26.57 deg ele=37 ft 7 in @1.830 f/mhz
36.75=14.13deg ele=20ft 1 in @ 1.830 f/mhz
how i arrived at all this is the following
70 ft vertical 2 in dia alum conduit
20 ft 8 spoke 1/2 in dia alum conduit cap hat mounted on top
with wire around the end points
going on 234/90 = 2.6 i then divided or multiplied all the remaining
figures by a factor of 2.6 for the deg.
my calculated height of 70 ft = 49.3 deg
my cap hat of 20 ft = 14.13 deg
subtracting it form 90 deg i get a miss section of 26.57 deg or 69.08 as a
fomula from the left column
calculating it out it appears to need 37 ft 74 in more of hat or sloped wire
my dilema now is to use one pc of wire that long or maybe breaking the wire
length into 3 pcs equalling 12ft 5 inches long an then insulating them for
guying reasons at the top any input will be great as i have no hair left
from trying to figure all this out an my smoke needs repacked in the head
ears are empty
20 ft or 14.13 deg or 36.75
