Your question was indeed crystal clear, so I am sorry that you had to make this experience. Don't worry and have fun! BTW, I suspect that the tuning algorithm used by Wayne for all the AT of Elecraft does start his try with the minimum inductance (unknown from competitive reasons, hi)? -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/how-to-optimize-end-fed-tp7622927p7623003.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
