Hi Buck, Please check out my associated web page and then
ask me anything that you don't understand.

Contrary to what you may have been told, you can change
the 50 ohm SWR seen by your transmitter by changing the
length of the 450 ohm ladder-line.


Ok, I have seen that. It isn't that the antenna isn't tuned, it is
tuned with the twin-lead instead of a conventional tuner.

I might have enough twin lead to build one of those. I'll have to
consider it. It has always tweaked my interest.

Thanks
