How is the matching done?
The antenna represents a hi impedance- in the 2K--4K range for HF and
wire as a radiator. The parallel tank L-C is also a hi impedance. The
coaxial cable then is tapped up from ground until the 50 Ohm point is
reached.

That makes perfect sense except if you have two high impedances in
series how does tapping the coil at a certain point give you 50 ohms?
What exactly is the process where by the impedance transformation
occurs?

Just trying to learn here.

Thanks for any help once again!
