Take a close-wound wire helix of diameter D metres and having N = 500 turns
per meter. Wire diameter approx 2mm.

All formulae available from Terman, Kraus, ARRL, etc., etc.

C = 55.5 / (Ln( 2 * H / D ) - 1) picofarads per meter.

L = Square( N * Pi * D ) / 10 microhenrys per meter.

TransLine impedance, Zo = Sqrt( L / C ) ohms.

Propagation Velocity = 1 / Sqrt( L * C ) metres per second.

Take a length of H =1.5 metres of this helix and use it as a short vertical
antenna above a good ground.

It will resonate as a 1/4-wave vertical at 3.5 MHz.

Zo = 3243 ohms.

Velocity factor = 0.0701

Radiation Resistance = 0.176 ohms.

etc., etc.,

It's so simple you can't believe it. ;o)
