Instead of wasting bandwidth on stuff that cannot be changed by the
general
populace (CW requirements) or stuff that is just to jerk peoples
collective
chains (E-Bay posting in this NG), how about something that might even
be
technical in nature??? How about the answer to this question??.....When
cutting the feedline for a dual band (2m/70cm), for maximum performance,
it
needs to be cut to multiples of electrical half wave length. Does it
need to
be cut for 2m? or 70cm? a combination of both? or split the difference?

Neither. You need the correct length of coax to reach from the antenna
to the radio. Anything else is pure voodoo.

Is it??

Are you posting this in a swap forum just to jerk people's chains?

ummmm.....no

I have the formula to calculate feedline length for *monoband* V/UHF
antennas, and was hoping that somebody could shed some light on the dual
band dilemma either through calculations or personal experience or both.
