Default 450 ohm feedline to a multiband vertical

I sometimes use a 33 foot vertical with 16 25 foot radials laying on the
ground. I feed this with 450 ohm window line and use it multiband. It is
an excellent performer for me. I want to understand what is happening at
the feedpoint on 20 meters and 40 meters on both conductors of the
feedline.


Hi Bob,

At least one feedline conductor is a miserable horizontal radiator.
However, with this excellent performer, don't look for cavities in the
oral opening of an Equine.
