EZNEC not only shows a differant resonance point (3.2:1 @ 9.5 mhz
with Z=19.81 - j 24.27 ohms) but shows a tighter bandwidth.


Ken, 19.81 - j24.27 IS NOT Resonant!!!

Resonant would be: 19.81 + j0 !!!! Get rid of the reactance!!

I can not, however, deny that the antenna works. Again last night
I listened in on the 40 meter 3905 century club net and I was hearing
stations all over. I later moved to WWV @ 5 mhz and heard WWVH
just as strong as WWV (60 miles away).

Now if I could just figure out how to model the 6 turn choke at the
feedpoint...... I'd be happy to e-mail anyone my antenna file if they
would like to modify it. The wires are done and I think I got the feed-
line right but I'm not sure. Then there is the choke - 6 turns of rg8x
@ 2-5/8" dia at the feedpoint with 11 feet of rg8x going from there
to my Z11 tuner.

Any help?
