Good point, Jim. Or, go the extra distance and add L too and make it a complete low-pass L as was mentioned. Then, the ATU on the shack table can breath a sigh of relief when needed with reasonable band excursions. Even better for the industrious builder is to remotely motorize L and C. It's also possible to play around with T dimensions to minimize X at the feedpoint, but for me, that's too much tinkering up in the air :-) Paul, W9AC _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
