[TowerTalk] t type antenna

[Stan Stockton]

350 feet is about 5 quarter wavelengths at 3.8 MHz.  Quarter wavelength is about 65 feet or so.  If that thing is really 350 feet long you should see resonance at about 700 kHz, in addition to every odd multiple of a quarter wavelength.  Was there a typo or is this really an inverted L that is 350 feet long?

I have used an inverted l before and resonant was abt right with a 1/4 wave length..thanks..john
