Congratulationns!

In a previous posting, I quoted Dr. Arnold King who wrote prior to 1945:
"The accurate calculation of the (antenna) input impedance at AB of the
modified antenna as a function of the impedance (presented to the
matching section) and the (wire) lengths AC and BD has not been
accomplished."

If it were easy to calculate, they would have done it. They had
excellent marhematicians prior to 1945, too. The implication is that you
find the match by trial. John proved he could do it.
