[TowerTalk] Resonance is over rated

[Dave Harmon]

My HT IS resonant at 3800....it squirts more than a non-resonant HT and the
transmitter IS comfy....HEH
Mine has 90, 70' radials stapled to the surface of the ground.
This put the resonance at about 4300kc so I added several feet of pipe to
the stinger to get it resonant at 3800.
I have no matching devices, coils or anything else other than the DXE 1:1
coax balun at the base and the DXE radial ground plate mounted to a 4th pipe
in the cement base.
Other than that, it is unmodified.

Resonance is definitely over rated.  All that matters is that the radio 
waves squirt out and your transmitter is comfortable.
