"Roy Lewallen" wrote in message ... You've said that because the inductor I chose is something like 4% larger than necessary to resonate the antenna, the magnitude and phase shift from input to output would be very nearly zero (although the reasoning is contrary to conventional electrical circuit theory, and I don't follow it at all). Don't know. Didn't say it. Can't help. So what I'm asking for is an inductor value which would exhibit a large enough phase and/or magnitude shift that would be easily seen in a measurement. Do we agree that the amount of differential will depend on the number of 'degrees missing' from the length of the antenna? Do we agree that the position of the loading coil plays a significant. role in determining how much of a current differential will appear across it? I'll be constructing a more ideal 33 foot vertical in the near future, and making similar measurements at 3.8 MHz. So if its feedpoint impedance is, let's say, 35 - j370, what would be the input to output current ratio (magnitude and phase) for a physically very small base inductor of, say, +j300 ohms? If it's very small, then pick an inductor value which would exhibit a substantial inpututput current ratio. Are you going to insist that it be one of these ferrite core jobs, or is it more like ones on a HF6V? 73, Jim AC6XG |
