I am helping a friend with an 80 meter 4 square vertical. Can someone tell me how to calculate the difference in length when 4" aluminum pipe is used for the elements verses wire elements? Thanks Gar
You can calculate the resonant frequency for any element diameter using the W6QHS element spreadsheet http://www.realhamradio.com/Download.htm John KK9A I am helping a friend with an 80 meter 4 squar
Thanks for the info John. My computer doesn't want to open the wk1 files of the program. Any suggestions? Thanks Gary K4FMX _______________________________________________ ___________________________

If a "shortening factor" is defined as the ratio between the height of a resonant grounded vertical and a free space quarter wavelength, the following curves show the factors for 3.75 MHz and 28.5 MH
