[ARC5] Antenna for small yard

[AKLDGUY .]

Yes, but I'm trying to match the antenna to 5-8 ohms in series with 150pF,
which is the impedance that the BC-230 and ARC-5 are designed for. My
BC-230 does indeed deliver about 5W into such a dummy load (the resistors
get hot). Why make things complicated by going to 50 ohms, then matching
that?
