Gary, since your data are so different from mine, you have to tell me where
I went wrong.


Hi Frank, I used one of Reg Edwards Dipole programs to get the line loss. At
the time that was the fastest way I could think of to get some numbers. His
program lets you describe the antenna, feedline, and frequency of interest and
it gives a number of operating conditions including line loss.
As far as where you went wrong? May have been me that was wrong. I think I
have TL program somewhere, but don't have time to look at the moment. I
checked the impedance of the antenna a couple of ways, and it agrees with your
calculation about 300+j700. The difference must be in the way the line loss is
calculated?
