Subject: Re: [Elecraft] 75ohm Impedance question K3S and Antenna side.
Supposedly the feedpoint impedance is 52 ohms ??? Yes, I question that a
bit.
Read all about it here. Sorry I doubled the 1/2 wave mults.

Hustler Antenna 6BTV - Hustler 6BTV 6-Band HF Vertical Antenna and DXE
Installation Guide Packages
Antenna, Vertical, HF, 6-Band, 80, 40, 30, 20, 15, 10 meters, 1.5 kW, 24
ft., +
DXE BTV High Perf. Guide, Each $241.99
Performance provided by the Hustler 6BTVs is better than any other antenna
of
this type. Broad-banding is such that one measurement and setting permits
both
phone and CW operation. The antenna provides nominal 52-ohm base
impedance when installed and tuned according to the instructions. The
radiation
efficiency is equal to, or greater than, other trap verticals.
