Fw: Re: [HCDX]: Beverage Antennas

[wb5khd@xxxxxxxx]

 Don Moore-

Was your antenna terminated into a resistor or pot, then into the ground?
Two wires or one?
How high is it?
Please tell me about your balum? Did you make it or store bought?
Why 10:1?

How does one determine characteristic impedance of an antenna as to know
what to terminate it with?

Thanks for any help,
Willis
