Thanks Allan W2TN ________ The K6SE design I use for my 29 ft x 14 ft flag, calls for 950 ohms. The dimensions of the flag were optimized for both 160 and 80. I used two 470 ohm 2 watt 5% metal oxide resistors in series. I get 30dB F/B when checked against local BC stations. The flag works very well on a rotator on my roof about 22 ft high.
