When base-mounting a loading coil (inductor) on a shortened monopole vertical,
is there a preferred method for the physical placement of the coil? Is it
better to orient the coil in the vertical axis, horizontal axis; very close to
the radiator element or a number of feet away; positioned close to ground level
or elevated (such as on a mounting post ~ 3 feet above ground)?
Assume freq = 1.83 mHz; H = 70 feet aluminum; soil = average to good; small
capacitive hat (spokes, 5’ diameter).
