I don't know how many of our new 6 hour hams I have worked on 40m who are
using a Station Master (a 11m half wave with a base parallel tuned
matching
network) fed with 20m or so of RG58C/U and an ATU on 40m, and
astonishlingly, VSWR is less than 1.01!

We owe a lot to that CB technology!

Sounds like a poor substitute for a good 40 meter antenna to me.

BTW my dummy load has a 1:1 VSWR on 40 meters but it doesn't hear very well.
