I'm considering putting up a 33' vertical - just 3 sections of Rat Shack
mast (solidly bolted for continuity) plus a 3+/- foot 'adjustable' part
on the bottom to 'trim' the length. Then a bunch of in-ground radials.
40m is my only 'serious' band. 15 meters should be a bonus, right?
Or not?
Not really. 33 ft. is too long for good 15m performance. The take-off-
angle at the highest gain point is 47 degrees. The free version of
EZNEC at eznec.com will show that.
