Default question about wire antenna and tuner

Cecil Moore's web site shows how he adds lengths of twin feeder to suit
the different bands.


If the SWR on 450 ohm ladder-line is between 4.5:1 and
18:1, the impedance at a current maximum point will be
resistive between 25 ohms and 100 ohms for an SWR on
50 ohm coax of 2:1 or less with no tuner. See the Smith
Chart at: http://www.w5dxp.com/smith.htm
