If it's what I think it is the design is a coaxial feed section with a 1/2wl radiator. The difference being a coax fed rather than a balanced line feed. In either case it relies on an unterminated 1/4wl section reflecting a high impedence to match the end impedence of a 1/2wl section. That being something in the range of 3000-5000 ohms (at resonance). Here's a very simple end fed vertical dipole: http://www.la2t.org/otfgallery/album...plukk/1002.jpg http://f3wm.free.fr/radio/pocket.html It's simply a piece of coax. The braid is stripped off the last 1/4 wavelength. Another 1/4 wavelength from the end, there is a choke to isolate a 1/4 wavelength of braid from the rest of the cable. Presto, dipole! Support it with a fishing rod, hang it from a tree, whatever. 73 de LA4RT Jon |
