[TowerTalk] Expected VSWR of antenna near the ground

[Dan Maguire]

Perhaps not applicable to Doug's monster, but for AutoEZ users wishing to experiment with LPDA models see the third bullet here:

Two general-purpose models are available, one to design via the desired Tau and Sigma and one to design via the desired number of elements and boom length.  With either one, just change a few variables and the model is recreated on the fly.  That way you can easily compare performance across a frequency range using different parameter choices.

LPDAs are also discussed briefly at the third bullet here:
