Setting the
lengths is no problem, it's the angle I haven't found.



Hi OM,

Actually, the lengths and the angles BOTH impact the resonance and the
match (varying from 30 odd Ohms to 70 odd Ohms). One solution is to
cut the radials and start depressing them until you get the match you
want. If they don't match, cut them shorter and repeat.

That's it. Richard, whether you like it or not, you're helping us
newbies...and I (finally) appreciate it. Thanks.

Let no one concern themselves, arcanum still rules on this NG.
