Glen:

THAT is a very interesting URL, thank you for the time in bringing it to my
attention; it is apparent that my internet searchs are missing important
documents!

Dr. Montoya is "my kinda guy."

Regards,

I am looking for "Everything you wanted to know about a gamma-match--in a
nutshell."

Start with the ARRL Antenna Book. My 19th Edition, (C) 2000, discusses
gamma
matches in chapter 26: Coupling the Line to the Antenna.

In other words, what set of formulas would give you length, conductor
spacing, gamma capacitor value, ratio of gamma rod to driven element
diameter, and a starting measurement for the shorting bar between
conductors-- for a given frequency?

The best resource I've found for this is lecture notes by Dr. Thomas
