A common solution is to use a parallel tuned circuit, approximately
resonant, with inductor and capacitor reactances of a couple hundred
ohms or so, and the capacitor being adjustable. Connect one end of the
network to ground and the other to the antenna. Connect the feedline
between ground and a tap near the bottom of the coil. Alternately adjust
the tap position and the variable capacitor for the best impedance match.

What do I do, however, for those frequencies for which it is close
to a half wave? PI network? Or L network?


An L network with reactances of several hundred ohms for
both inductor and capacitor.
