RW> TW> For Transmitting Antennas YES becaue it provides a better feed line RW> TW> match. RW>Show me an antenna, RX or TX, that doesn't need feed line matching. A longwire thrown out the windoww rr conected to a tree. RW>You were mixing yourself up by talking one, then the other. If you want an RW>antenna that can receive locally transmitted high-power signals, no RW>biggie, just throw up a long wire and be done with it. I already know that and a great deal more about radio theory then you think --- þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom strikes agaoin * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 bbs.docsnetservices.com (1:123/140) .
