Europa-List: Re: Dipole com antenna

[h&amp;jeuropa <butcher43@att.net>]

Martin,

The Wikepedia article is a pretty good explanation, 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna

Because the ends are folded on the SA-006, the impedance of the antenna needs to
matched to the feedline and the com output.  Archer uses a gamma match for this.

Your planned installation sounds fine.  

A dipole in the rear fin per the build manual also works very well but access on
a completed airframe is somewhat difficult.
