Topband: Ferrites and verticals

[jcjacobsen at q.com]

How do, 



The thread on ferrites has been most interesting, but it leaves a question or two unanswered. Please be kind to an old timer. 

The scenario: Butternut HF6V (or any hf vertical) ground mounted w/32 radials at 32 feet, buried just beneath the surface. The questions: 

Is a choke needed on the feed line and if so, how many #31 snap on ferrites are needed for proper function. 



AND are they placed at the feed point, or at the 32' point to match the radial length? 



And please remember, be kind to an old timer who didn't do to well in algee.... um alger, um lets just make that math. <GRIN> 



73 and Tnx
