5/8 wave for 20 meters
Hi gang,
I'm trying to think of a new antenna for 20 Meters. Had a thought of a 5/8 wave vertical up the side of the house. My calculations tell me this would be about 41+ feet. Couple of questions: - is this a good idea? - can I do it without radials, I'm thinking ground stake, inductor, 41 feet of wire straight up, tapping the inductor at the 50 ohm point with coax. - I attempted to model this in NEC2 and for 5/8 at 20M I'm getting an impeadance at the base at about 7.4613E+01-4.3625E+04j. Does that seem likely or is my model broken? Looking forward to what you all think. Thanks, -- Rob |
