Basic question

Why is it that my radios are 50 ohms and the impedance at the feed point at
the antenna (pure dipole) is 70 ohms.

Am I mistooken

No, yer not mistaken.... but, if you want to lower the input impedance to your dipole, bring the legs down to around 40 degrees, and you'll drop the input impedance to the antenna down around 20 ohms.
