Default vertload.exe versus loadcoil.exe ??

Thank you very much.

Can you speak to the calculated ATU value in VertLoad? Is it the

value to match
to a 50 Ohm coax?

One of the program set simulates a dipole with a base coil centered

between the
elements. Is there a program to simulate a dipole with each of the

arms center
loaded? I was trying to approximate this by vertload/loadcoil

simulations. They
should be pretty close.

Thanks - Dan kb0qil

===============================

Yes, it's 50-ohm coax. Somewhere the program tells you that.

Two 1/4-wave resonant coil-loaded verticals, back to back, make one
1/2-wave resonant coil-loaded dipole.

But the dipole is more efficient. There is no ground loss resistance.
