Topband: 1/4 versus 1/2 wave vert.

[w4dlz@arrl.net]

A 1/2 wave vertical has a high impedance feed at the base.
The ground currents on a half wave vertical are very very low
thereby ground losses are minimal. You are at a high voltage
feed point . As far as I'm concerned all you probably need 
is one cooper  rod at the base..

Considerating this how can a quarter wave vertical be better...?
Also the current is max at 135 feet up....
