Hi Jimmie,

That would make sense given the matching section is to match a 50 Ohms
drive to any load.

Initial assumption was this was some kind of screw up. I guess
not. This AM I spent some time building the short J out of some galvanize
pipe and it works as advertise


If you are still talking about the curiosity of a quarterwave match to
a quarterwave radiator, then it should work as advertised. The
curiosity factor is like wondering why anyone would buy a car with
five wheels when the world has been traveling on four for millennia.
