Re: [Elecraft] More fun with short linear loaded wires and the KXAT1

Hello Michael, I've experimented quite a bit with linear loaded vertical dipoles, and found that placing capacitance hats at both ends helps a lot. Not only does it lower the resonant frequency for a given length of wire, but it also raises the radiation resistance so the antenna will be more

[Elecraft] More fun with short linear loaded wires and the KXAT1

I have been doing some more experimentation with shortened linear loaded wires in an attempt to find more practical lengths of end-fed wires for portable and pedestrian mobile operations with my KX1. Yesterday I used a 11 ft wire supported on a 10ft fiberglass fishing pole and managed to work
