Such a low dipole will normally have, at its center, an impedance in the
general range of 4-j60 ohms at 7 MHz, so the r value you're seeing doesn't
seem surprising.
For all practical purposes it's on the ground and the earth has a very
large effect on its impedance and its resonant frequency. In
So, if I understand you right... Sorry about getting OT here.
I can make it resonant by extending it about 1 foot on each end?
33 feet/x=7.09/7.3
x=~34
My main problem are junipers. I can raise the antenna about 20' in the air
but then the antenna is literally in the trees. Would that

problems that it solve?
Not unless you mean mechanical problems. It will be MUCH more efficient
at 20'. Trees have very little
