I have built an insulated base for a 1/4 wave 160 antenna. The antenna
will be XXX' of Rohn 25. In searching I see people using heights from 115'
- 130' with a pretty high number around 124'.
I do not know how I am going to match it yet, I figure I will do my
research on that once it's up so I can learn while experimenting.... But
the height has me second guessing. I want it tunable across the band,
perhaps using a Tornado Tuner like my JK 801's have with a motorized
inductor ? But the question at hand is do I want the antenna Tall or Short
? What is the Method behind the Madness ? :o)
Thanks in advance,
Ron WV4P
