Togethere wih a fellow amateur I am trying to design an endfeed halfvawe
vertical antenna for 50 MHz.

We have encountered som problems regarding the impedance match in the
feedpoint. I have surveyed the ARRL Antenna Book and Antennebuch (a German
antenna book very popular in Europe). The properties of the antenna and its
impedance is well understood. The missing point is how to realise the
matching network

In order to avoid reinventing the whee: Does anybody have some good links to
study practical realisations of the matching network?

I am curious as to what the expected use will be. I am not familiar
with 6m in Europe, but 50 megahertz vertical in the US is not something
you will work much on.

If you are looking to work SSB on 6m, you will be better off with a
horizontal antenna. There are many easily built 6m beam plans available.

If he plans on working Es, Aurora, F2 etc. vertical polarity will work just
as well as horizontal, except for maybe more man made noise p/u on the
vertical.

If that's the plan Dale, he really ought to use something besides a half
wave dipole no matter what the polarization!
