Hopefully, the lengths to avoid are associated with specific
loads. Avoiding 1/4WL of ladder-line when feeding a 1/2WL
dipole may be good advice but 1/4WL of ladder-line is ideal
for feeding a one wavelength dipole.


They're fairly specific about loads -- their manual is at
http://www.mfjenterprises.com/produc...rodid=MFJ-989C with pages
7 and 8 talking about feedline lengths.
