Modeling a 17 foot folded dipole made from copper #18 wire spaced at 2
inches at 14.2 MHz with EZNEC shows a feedpoint impedance of 46.1 +
j1893 ohms.


Now I'm confused again.

I modeled a monopole at 434 MHz. Varying the vertical element showed the
terminal impedance to get lower in resistance and become increasingly
capacitive as the vertical element is shortened.

I thought it was supposed to be backwards from the usual unfolded
monopole.?.
