Jim,
Whew! That takes the pressure off. Thanks for the help.
I was beginning to get worried about getting this right and the more
stressed I get the lower my brain function is and the more I have to
struggle to solve it. It becomes a circle that feeds itself until I have to
give up.
If you find something seriously wrong with the math later, please let me
know.
With the antenna current already at 2.8 amps, I do not think that I will
need to work on the grounding system.... Is this correct? Will increasing
the current increase overall performance enough to be worth the effort?
Next step is to build an amp of Scott's design, but run it quite
conservatively. At this power level, it will handle wind, rain AND operator
error. :o)
J.
