Guess I missed that in your post, sorry. Any conductor of any length
will radiate, resonant or not ... provided you can get your TX to feed
power into it. In all cases, the far end of the conductor is an open
circuit [High E, low I, High Z] The impedance at the feed end will be a
complex numb
The low current in the counterpoise or ground system is the main
advantage of an EFHW over a random wire. (A random wire "close" to a
half wave will have a similar radiation pattern, but much higher ground
system current.)
The feedpoint impedance of the EFHW can be 1500 to 5000 Ohms. With a 9

Thanks for the replies so far. Just to clarify-I plan to use the built in auto
tuners in my KX2 and 3, so hopefully they can handle the job. I already have a
good 9:1 transformer which should work. The primary question is the advantage
to the EFHW as opposed to a true
