I think we are a bit off topic at this point but...




Odd, from less than page of posts after I posted:




All this over a line that we weren't in disagreement with in the first place...  All of my sources agree with all of your sources.  The question that led up to this post was asked with another purpose in mind.  It led to a response that I did not expect from Marconi, who the question was asked, and that disagrees with both of our sources.  Because of this I am wondering why his models are disagreeing with our sources.  Is he doing something wrong and if so what? 


So CK I ask you this, is there a way other than losses, such as width of the radiator or the distance between the base of the radiator and the theoretical "perfect" groundplane that can change the theoretical "lossless" impedance to something other than 35-37 ohm impedance?  Something that can possibly explain Marconi's 25 ohm impedance at resonance?
