The subscript says:
"The two elements are assumed to be thin and self-resonant, with
equal-amplitude current flowing at the feed-point."

I see in another post there is also talk of equal power vs equal
currents. This nicely skirts the issue of HOW do you get them to be equal.
I should keep my nose out of these complex discussions, but I think this
supports my original comment that in general, it is not "easy".

Also, Good description of the antenna problem, Richard. Good
refresh of memory. I wouldn't have been able to do it justice from memory.


Since I can`t do diagrams, I suggest finding a copy of the book. It`s a
good one. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI

If I had a burning desire to get into this subject I would, but I don't.
Thanks,

It's "EZ" if you use W7EL's SIMPFEED.ZIP stuff :-) downloadable from:
http://www.eznec.com I have modified one of his programs to take the
feedpoint impedances predicted by EZNEC as the inputs to Roy's feedline
phasing program. It's actually "EZ". :-)
