Hi Guys,
I'm shunt feeding a 90' aluminum tower for 160-meters. .
I found the 50 ohm tap point on the tower and have the shunt wire
connected to the tower at that point. At the base of the Shunt wire I'm measuring
the following:
-Rs = 51 ohms.
-Xs = 344.
-Q = 6
-Ls = 30.1 uH.
Please advise what I need to add to this circuit... such as: a 30uH
inductor? If a 30uH inductor can I easily make one, such as: X turns of #10 wire
with a 3" diameter?
Thanks,
Dick
