[TowerTalk] t type antenna

[john at kk9a.com]

I was also trying to understand the 300 foot top hat. I have never seen that even on top band.  It would be easy to model to see where it's resonant.

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
