Tnx info Markus I mean use a ferrite core inductor to reduce wire resistance to resonate the vertical. I have already put 162 turns on a 0.5cm diam barell 1mm pvc insulated wire and only get 14.5 mH
Hi Mal, no, I would not recommend transmitting on a vertical without a resonant loading coil, it's not really efficient. A 150 mH coil would not be very difficult to make. For a straight single layer
Markus Have u discovered another method of resonating a vertical type antenna other than a large air wound water butt. I was thinking of a smaller coil with ferrite core. In my case I need about 150
