[TowerTalk] Capacitor Value for a 160m T antenna

[Paul Christensen]

P.S.

Unless you really need a flat 1.1 SWR, then just use series C of 628 pF
(1825 kHz).  That eliminates the L.  However, adding in L, or at least
accommodating it in your layout does help if you plan on spanning the whole
160m band.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Capacitor Value for a 160m T antenna

I'm going to build a T antenna for 160 in a few weeks.

I need a capacitor to tune out z = 41.2 + j139.

For the educational experience, how do I calculate a cap for the above
equation?  I'm going to try and track down a variable cap for the above so I
can build the antenna over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanks
