Now I understand what you're describing. That could match an antenna
having parallel transformed feedpoint R less than 50 ohms and moderate
capacitive reactance. But it's probably not the best way to do it. You
couldn't feed a 5/8 wave vertical this way, because the parallel
transformed feedpoint R is greater than 50 ohms. The portion of L below
the tap would be the value needed to resonate with the equivalent shunt
Xc of the antenna. Then the additional turns would simply be the rest of
the autotransformer to step up the equivalent parallel feedpoint R.

In this configuration the transmitter feeds the top of the
auto-transformer coil with the bottom of the coil at ground
and the antenna is tapped along the coil.
hope that makes more sense?
