Correct me if I am wrong, but if you end feed a wire, it isn't a
dipole, its a monopole.

Several authors recommend against

dropped without a hint of explanation.

Other authors see it as simple and
reliable, and recommend it with enthusiasm.

A parallel tuned circuit with tapped
inductor is usually the recommended
impedance transformer.

In my own experience, matching has
always been extremely easy and
trouble-free. So does anyone know why
this might be thought so frought with
problems that its general use would be
discouraged?
