The *best* way to load a short vertical is with a large enough capacity hat to load the antenna with *no* loading coil needed. And that is what your's truly would build if I had to have a contest against his using the same height whip. BTW, I realize if the antennas were for a low freq, I might have to use a coil in order to avoid a hat that was just too big to handle, but still, I would concentrate as much capacitive loading at the top as I could, and use the minimum inductor value to match the antenna. If we both have to use coil loading, mine should win. The current distribution will be more linear on mine. And in a case using a large hat, it really doesn't matter where the coil is. The current distribution will still be fairly linear as long as the hat is big enough. That would be about the only case where I might consider a base loading coil to reduce coil windings. MK |
