What is the impedance at the centre of an infinitely long dipole
(in
free space)?
===============================
Its not very different from -
Zin = 120 * Ln( Wavelength / d ) ohms.
where d = conductor diameter, both measured in metres.
Thus, at wavelength = 80 metres with 14 gauge copper wire, input
impedance = 1300 ohms approx.
If you don't believe me, just measure it.
