 Modeling a 17 foot folded dipole made from copper #18 wire spaced at 2 
 inches at 14.2 MHz with EZNEC shows a feedpoint impedance of 46.1 + 
 j1893 ohms. 
 
 
Now I'm confused again. 
 
I modeled a monopole at 434 MHz. Varying the vertical element showed the 
terminal impedance to get lower in resistance and become increasingly 
capacitive as the vertical element is shortened. 
 
I thought it was supposed to be backwards from the usual unfolded 
monopole.?.
