"K7JEB" wrote in message. Well, suppose that it "could" be done. Take a large paperclip and stretch it out to its full 4-inch length and note its 0.05-inch diameter. Too lazy to dig out my Kraus or Jasik, I plug those numbers into EZNEC (it complaining loudly all the while about minimum segment length) and come up with a radiation resistance of 0.0001818 ohms when feeding the stretched-out paperclip as a monopole against a perfect ground on 1.9 MHz. Now, I want to run my 1500-watt ham rig into the paperclip and get efficient radiation. To do this requires that I pass 2872 amps of RF current into the base of the 0.05-inch diameter paperclip. I think I see a problem here..... k7jeb A Lightbulb! Adair -KD5DYP |
