Testing VHF antenna with ohm meter
Hello,
I suspect that my VHF antenna is shot, I think it's open circuit.
I'm looking for a quick and easy way to verify it with an ohm meter.
I know that the 50 ohm impedance is an AC impedance
at RF frequencies. But I'm guessing a DC ohm meter should
measure something between a few 10s of ohms to a few hundreds
of ohms if the antenna was good.
I'm measuring ~ 10 meg ohms.
Time for a new antenna?
Thanks in advance,
Vin
