Topband: Strange behaviour of radial systems

2015-02-16 Thread Kees Nijdam
I have a north-south switchable 21m high phased pair for 80m with 1/8 lambda spacing. It is optimised for 3520 kHz, the feed -Christman-system was made according to ON4UNs book and software. Measurements were made with a General radio bridge 1606B, oscillator and receiver. The system has a

Kees, What else is around your verticals? Just the fact something is not resonant does not mean it isn't a problem. To my ashtonishment, vertical 1: 28-j328 Ohm and vertical 2: 12-j320 Ohm both on 1825 kHz. The vertical with the smallest radial system has the lowest earth resistance (around
