The way I understood it was the best way to feed it was with ladderline
or something equal to it.
Did anyone tell you that the matching section needs to be
about 0.2 wavelength?


Explain?


To make an EDZ system resonant, i.e. a resistive impedance
looking into the feedline, the ladder-line needs to be
about 0.2 wavelengths long (plus N*1/2 wavelengths).


Thanks Cecil,that may have a lot to do with it.
