Has anyone ever tried putting a dipole antenna up with the center
insulator being a high power 50 ohm dummy load,then connecting the dipole
elements across the dummy load.This would always keep a suitable match
at 50 ohms and satisfy the transceiver.Would most of the power go to the
dummy load and not the elements and wouldn't radiate.In thinking about
this it all logically makes sense the load would really never change or
would it have some reactance with the dipole elements.
Thanx All
