Dear Graham, LF Group,

Well, 20m high is quite high compared to most amateur antennas in use on 500k - But doing a few sums, a 20m high, 150m long aerial should have radiation resistance of 1.5ohms or over, and one might expect several ohms loss resistance if in a good location. So efficiency could be in the tens of percent, and, being about 1/4 wave long, presumably not requiring much if anything in the way of loss-increasing loading coils. So even with just 5W TX, Andy could in principle be achieving a few watts ERP.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
