While setting up a dipole antenna tonight a question come up while discussing the tuning with myself: Which is the "most effective" antenna - understanding it will be matched with a antenna tuner, either the internal autotuner or an external manual tuner - a dipole type antenna with a resistance of R=6 ohms and impedance of X=16, or the same dipole type antenna with R=48 and X=146? Both of these settings have the same SWR=6.5
I guess that same question would apply to a short vertical, or end fed zepp type antenna. Anyone care to comment on this?
