Default where does the power when using an antenna-tuner go to ?

So according to you the use of litze wire in medium wave (1 MHz) radios
was a waste of effort?
You seem to have a lot of strange ideas...


Well, what did you expect? I'm just a ham.
You know: for 90 % no idea what I am doing as I am just an operator and
for 9.9 % "no idea why it is like that, but that's what they told so it
must be correct".


Well actually this is a bit strange, because a ham usually has to pass
an exam, and the theory that has to be learned from that usually includes
the basic principles of HF electronics, including a discussion of things
like L/C circuits, Q factor, skin effect, etc.

But maybe you only did a crash course and pre-learned the 500 questions
and their correct answer, without actually understanding it.


Well, hopefully you will learn from the current discussion.
