Default An antenna question--43 ft vertical



"Jeff" wrote in message ...


If there is a mismatch at the antenna (and there is no matching at the
antenna), then maximum power transfer will occur when the conjugate
match is applied at the transmitter end of the feedline.


Surely a conjugate match will only match the load if the coax length is 1/2
wavelength or multiple thereof, and the feeder is also lossless.


Any other coax length will introduce a phase shift that will require a
different match.


Yes, I'm assuming that the antenna tuner conjugate match is for the end of
the feedline, not for the antenna itself.
