After reading several articles both on and off the WEB regarding a

the feed line.


There is a webpage that calculates the correct length of the feedline for
an antenna:

Well, I will never accuse you two of not having a highly developed sense
of humor! (and, that calculator is actually HIGHLY ACCURATE--error
factor less than .000000000000000000000000001% grin)

At first I missed the importance of that URL, thanks for posting a reply
to the original--I got a chance to use it. LOL!

Warm regards,

my formula is a little more complicated than the web site though. i take
the distance from the shack to the antenna, add in the width of the shack
(assuming some day i'll move the radio that it connects to somewhere else),
then add a couple feet more just for good measure.

Absolutely, I had overlooked that error myself ...

If you notify "him" of that error/bug, I should imagine he would
immediately incorporate your "upgrade!" :-)
