      In a message dated 04-19-14, Roy Witt said to Holger Granholm:              GM Roy,               HG> But you can never TUNE an antenna with any sort of feedline.              RW>Well, yes you can because the antenna needs coax attached to it with       RW>an RF signal to be tuned. But I know what you meant. When I was on a       RW>ladder, tuning my 4 element yagi, with the xyl pushing the xmit       RW>switch in the shack, I got a nice RF burn when I touched the Gamma       RW>matching device while she keyed the microphone and I didn't know it.              What is obvious from this text is: Never use more power than necessary!       You don't need a kilowatt to tune a matching section / device.              73 de Sam, OH0NC              aka Holger              ___        * MR/2 2.30 * I don't have a solution, but I admire the problem...                     --- PCBoard (R) v15.22 (OS/2) 2        * Origin: Coming to you from the Sunny Aland Islands.
