There is the equation:

| |2h | b+sqrt(bsquared+asquared) |||
L = .0117|log10|---|----------------------------||| +
| | a |b+sqrt(bsquared+(4*hsquared)|||

| b |
0.0508|sqrt(bsquared+4*hsquared) - sqrt(bsquared+asquared) + - - 2h + a|
| 4 |

whe (and, sorry again, we only have ascii here)

|
(and, | is simply a bracket) or, one of these "({[" or these ")}]" but
|
then, you already knew that ...


L = uH
a = wire rad. in inches
b = wire length parallel to ground, in inches
h = wire height above ground, in inches

Now, this equation is probably a 'bit' more accurate than above--but
d*mn, still looking for that free wire (or, wire-above-ground) equation
for capacitance, for a wire in space ... :-D

Sorry, when everyone else is in bed, or his/her cups, I am still
up--just has always been like that ... and with that, a Good Night!

Well, finished unpacking the new toy. Thanks Santa!

Bolted the neodymium magnet to the 1,000,000 R.P.S. motor (specially
constructed from the metal from crashed UFOs' recovered by the gov't.)
Shoved this rf generator into the coaxial tank to couple with the
specially constructed copper coupling constructed into the tank, and
firmly secured it. Coupled the ant to the tank with a 1 turn loop
located at a standing wave "hump" and plugged it in ... darn thing is a
little large!

Anyone have their MW radio(s) tuned to 1Mhz? :-|

You all know I was kidding, right?

I mean, the neighbor(s) would NEVER let me take up their yards with the
MW tank circuit ... it was only meant as an example to compare standing
waves on a string to a EM standing waves in a POSSIBLE circuit.

Warm regards to all,
