Can anyone recommend any tutorials for learning how to read a smith chart 
and also using the Sim Smith application ?
I want to be able to design coax matching stubs and am a total newbie.
 The smith chart is intimidating to me but I thought I would see if I could 
master it.
 
 Here's a QST article of a very good basic introduction to the Smith Chart 
that should remove the intimidation very quickly.  ARRL membership may be 
required for access:

 Another is the excellent three-part QST series by Ward Silver, N0AX.  Part I 
starts here:

 Jim, K9YC has drafted a very informative PowerPoint presentation on Sim 
Smith:
