Talking Points of Experience
Loading coil to simulate length, but inefficient and generates heat, doesn't handle high power well.
DC grounded antennas are ideal: prevents static build up on antenna
Precision in element length becomes more significant at higher frequency
Understand how capacity hats impact resonance
Impedance Dipole vs Inverted V
A dipole in free space should have about 72 ohms of input impedance. As you move the poles down to form and inverted V the impedance lowers.
