My previous ISP sold me off to a new one. SInce that time I've had no

I spent too much time composing a response to Yuri's last post and
then did not see it appear after posting. I will not waste further
time, but in a nutshell I offered another case using the self-
reactance of the DE as part of the matching network.

In this example, to avoid any "loss due to loading" resulting from
shortening the DE, I *lengthen* the DE to obtain an inductive
reactance for the series arm of an L-network and then use a shunt
capacitor for the second matching element.

The model is he

Run the analysis, and add a shunt 195 pF and see what you get.
