Default Reactance means the power is coming back to you!



"gareth" wrote in message ...

Part of the power fed to a short antenna comes back to you making
it seem reactive.


That that power is coming back means that not all of it is being radiated,
as is mistakenly claimed by a number of people.


Reflected power is irrelevant.

A short antenna will radiate 10 watts of power just as well as a long
antenna.
