Marconi, could you model a quarter wave vertical antenna over a "perfect" horizontal infinitely large and infinitely conductive groundplane and see what feedpoint impedance you get?


I seem to remember reading that this was the basis for the 36 ohm baseline  figure that I personally use for quarter wavelength antennas.  On my end I'll see about cracking open a few books and try to verify that.
