      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!               R\%/itt - K5RXT              Being judged by McJerkey doesn't define who I am, it defines who he is.                            --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012       --- D'Bridge 3.99        * Origin: HAM Radio, aka Amateur Radio. 804?
