Frank,

The coil measures about 60 uH. The antenna is elevated about 3 feet on a
short tripod. The radials angle down the tripod legs and then out.

The coil is about 4 inchs in diameter, number 12, wound on a fiberglass
form. It is centerloaded. I am looking at it accross the yard, it is about
6 inches long. It is would with about a point .5 pitch. Calculations for a
1:1 pitch predict a Q of about 450.

Thanks,
Dan

Maybe I missed something, but how high is the TOP of the antenna. I.E. How
long is the whip? Is the loading coil at the base, or partway up the
antenna?
