Re: [IRCA] KORC 820 Waldport, OR

[Dennis Gibson <wb6tnb@xxxxxxx>]

Yes, their tower is quite short. It is only 54.10 degrees electrical height. A quarter wavelength, which is desirable, is 90 degrees electrical height. It is very close to a bay so the ground conductivity should be pretty good.  

A quarter wavelength at 820 is 300 feet. Their tower is 180 feet.
