Default Endfeed vertical halfvawe antenna

The simplest fed is a L network with the C at the transmitter end
and the antenna at the unterminated inductor end. Works best
in the radiator is slightly capacitive looking.



Specificallly check the article "feeding the EDZ" as that
talks about the problem at hand.

Not really, the capacitor goes on the end of the coil closest to the higher
impedance. I'm certain his half wave will be appreciably above 50 Ohms.
Mine's about 2600 Ohms.
