   Coax antenna tuning

   Greetings Holger!   
      
    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.   
      
    HG> What is obvious from this text is: Never use more power than   
    HG> necessary! You don't need a kilowatt to tune a matching section /   
    HG> device.   
      
   Warning taken. Although in the above, it was only a 5 watt transmitter.   
      
       Have a day!

   Being judged by McJerkey doesn't define who I am, it defines who he is.
