Re: [IRCA] EWE antenna questions

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

Those are good questions about impedance matchers. There are a couple 
of articles of mine (with Lowfer Guru Bill Bowers) on rolling your 
own impedance matching unhits... they cover all of your questions and 
are on the IRCA reprint disks, I believe.  They are also available at 
the Equipment page of DXing.info.  Make sure that you read both articles.
