You can try matching the output impedance by sqeezing the box harder. How
many ohms is your hand + arm + torso + legs to ground?


For helicals of other dimensions download program HELICAL3 from website
below.


What do I use for a ground plane?


===============================

YOU plus the box constitute the groundplane. Otherwise, for example, with a
set of 4 1/4-wave radials you won't be handheld.
