The ARRL Antenna Book says the feedpoint impedance of an
8 foot center-loaded mobile antenna on 80m is 22 ohms
while the radiation resistance is 0.8 ohms.

Cec,
There you (in the plural) go again - using handbooks as bibles.
Written by technically ill-educated amateurs and professionals, no different
from yourselves, who can't agree on ANYTHING beyond V=I/R.
These threads sure have entertainment value. Not quite hilarious, too
serious, but well worth a speed-read, ;o)
Cec, I'm on deep red, South African Western Cape, Pinotage-Shiraz tonight.
You should try some. Makes a change from Californian, Texan and John Wayne,
six-shooter politics.

Yours, Reg, G4FGQ
