Quarter wave vertical antenna close to the ocean
Recent testing of my new vertical quarter wave antenna on 80m. The QTH Hlidsnes Álftanesi is a perfect place to place an antenna. The antenna is 20m in hight and with 4 to 5 elevated radials about 1m above the ground. The feedpoint impedance varies with the number of radials. The radiation resistance was close to 72 with only one elivated radial and with three elevated radials close to 53 ohms.
