How is this possible if an impedance match
must always be maintained for radios?

Hi Bill,

It is not always needed if the signal is strong enough. If the signal
is not strong enough, then you can obtain considerable gain through
tuning.

Tuning also brings other advantages by rejecting signals that could
depress your radio's sensitivity.
