[BC] 50 Ohms vs. 71 Ohms (AM Antenna Tuning)

[Neal Newman]

  Hello Scott

You may already know this?
  food for thought about the unipole on your tower..
  are the wires copper clad or are they aircraft steel?

If its copper clad your ok..
If its aircraft steel like they used to use on unipoles
  you will want to change the wires. to copperclad.It will radiate better.
  I have noticed this on 3 of my stations.
