   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.
