I have an Inverted-L question that hopefully someone can answer for me.
I installed the 160m wire to the 80 ft level on a 100 ft Rohn 45 tower
with top mounted yagis.
The horizontal (sort of) portion is approx 45ft long.
The wire starts at 80 ft down approx 5 ft from tower and when it gets to
the match box the bottom of the wire is about 10ft away from tower.
I have about 50 or so 120 ft long radials.
I am able to get a X=0, R=52. SWR 1.19:1 tune according to my RE Zoom using
load shunt match at base of tower.
My question is why do I need so much series capacitance (5300pf) with
parallel inductance approx 8uh?
Everything is working fine, but I am wanting to understand why I am needing
so much series capacitance? Does this indicate an issue I need to resolve?
TIA,
Steve, NA5C
