PV,

Antenna to Transmitter "Impedance Matching" for the best (optimum)
Power transfer for Transmitting is not an important objective of a
SWL who is trying to get the MOST out of his/her Antenna and Radio
for the best (optimum) Radio Reception.

BUT - Antenna {PRE} Tuning is a Very Desirable Objective for a SWL.

can turn this Coupler in to a good Antenna Pre-Selector.

Hi there, is antenna matching important for receiving as much
as for transmitting. Sorry if this is a dumb question.
