Hi Group,

A friend of mine let me borrow one of those MFJ antenna analizier with the
reads out of the R and X component.

Now if I have a reading of 40 R and 35 X then if I put a cap across the
coax
with an impedance of 35 ohm it should cancel out the inductive reactance
and I
should only see the 40 ohm resistive?

unless the x is already capacitive, in which case it will get larger. that
thing doesn't tell the sign of the reactance only its magnitude.
