[HCARC] Curious question

[Lee Besing]

And the answer on Jeopardy is...  Depends if you park your RV on that
concrete pad while operating on that antenna....  :)

Sorry, couldn't resist that one...

A curious question about Dipole antennas from the above portion of a
question on Baluns/Ununs:    What would happen if one were to run concrete
reinforcement mat that is 8 feet wide and 20 feet long under the entire
length of a dipole that was cut for 40 or 80 or 20 meters suspended approx
40 feet above the ground??  The mat could be layed either with the 8 foot or
the 20 foot perpendicular to the antenna.
