If something is wrong with a dip on 40m and a dip on 15m, someone should warn all the hams who are using their 40m dipoles on 15m. :-) Forgot to add that dipoles are resonant near all odd half-wavelengths, i.e. 0.5WL, 1.5WL, 2.5WL, 3.5WL, ... They are also antiresonant (purely resistive) on all integral wavelengths, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, ... Using a Smith Chart, if one plots the feedpoint impedances of a dipole VS frequency and connects the dots, that locus of points will describe a (very rough) spiral. (Traversing once around that rough spiral from resonance to resonance is one full wavelength, not 1/2 wavelength.) -- 73, Cecil, W5DXP |
