typical loading coil.

Take a look at the rest of the posting, Yuri. I show where a
1/4WL stub can be made up of 30 degrees of 450 ohm line plus
11 degrees of 50 ohm line. The impedance discontinuity (at
a point) furnishes the "missing" 49 degrees of stub.

At 4 MHz, that would make a 1/4WL stub only 23.4 ft long
or about 10% of a wavelength instead of 25%.

Has anything been published on using multiple Z0's to
shorten the physical length of a stub?
