[BC] Isotron AM Antennas

[Dave Dunsmoor]

> They claim a 50 ohm feed, no radials needed, but I wonder about reactance
and VSWR? For the money (if this works, like they say) would this be a good
"stand-by" antenna for a 1 KW AM daytime station if your main tower went
down?

Well, you'd first have to cut your power to <300 watts (probably a lot less
than 300 in order for it to stay on the air for an extended time). I don't
know anything specifically about this gadget, but my guess is that it's
primarily designed for intermittent low power service, and not likely to
hold up in bad weather.
