That was probably from a posting that I made here on
towertalk. A 1/4 wave 40 meter stub (~23 ft) has the
following characteristics:
shorted: Passes 40/15, rejects 20/10
open: Passes 20/10, rejects 40/15
If your station wants to operate on 80, the 40 meter stub
must be removed. To cover all the pass/reject combinations
of 80/40/20, you would need two stubs, one 23' and one 46',
with the ability to short/open the ends.
