[TowerTalk] 160 m. vertical modeling

[Rob Atkinson]

Ed,

As another fellow said, it would probably be better to more heavily
load it at the top and tune it at the base with a capacitor or
something other than an inductor.  In any event, I have a suggestion
in case you do not know about it-get a copy of ON4UN's Low Band Dxing
book--there's a ton of information in there about antennas and it's a
one-stop shop for information overdose on verticals.  If you can't do
any modeling yourself, it has enough information to set you up with a
pretty good antenna.
