Roger:
I think you are trying to make a simple task difficult. Think about why you can't just hook a feeder to the base of the tower. Actually, you can, except matching it is a bitch because of the verrrry low impedance. So, go up a few feet (I use 20', as it is a common tubing length), and make it a gamma, delta, or whatever is convenient. Then use a "tuner" to match whatever appears to 50 ohms. Mine is a few microhenries of series inductance, with a few hundred picofarads of shunt capacitance at the 50 ohm end. I actually use a fixed inductance and a series capacitor instead of a variable inductor, but that is a construction detail. -- Crazy George Remove NO and SPAM from return address |
