The characteristic impedance of a horizontal wire above ground is constant at 138*log(4D/d) The characteristic impedance is not to be confused with the voltage to current ratio existing on a standing-wave antenna any more than the characteristic impedance of a transmission line is to be confused with the voltage to current radio existing along its length when the SWR is not 1:1. Have you verified this experimentally, Cecil? If you did, how did you do it? 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |
