Speaking of someone who truly knows what he is talking
about Roy, here's a technical question for you.

Given that a mobile antenna stinger has a VF of
approximately 1.0 so we can determine the approximate
number of degrees that it occupies and ...

Given that we can use EZNEC to determine the feedpoint
impedance of that stinger, it seems to follow that ...

We should be able to use a Smith Chart to determine
the characteristic impedance (Z0) of that stinger.

Yes, no?
