Topband: impedance of 3/8 radiator and question on matching

[Carsten Esch <carsten.esch@appello.de>]

Hi,

I am playing with a 3/8 radiator for 80m (to the time being fed against 
40 radials of each 40m length).
What is the impedance I should expect from a 3/8 radiator?

My plan was to use it as a 3/8 on 80m and match it for you on 160m too 
(until we will put a Gamma match on our 60m tower).
Here is what I measured with my AIM today:

(and here the actual *.SCN file):

Any advise on matching would be welcome ;-)

Thanks!
