You can remove the inductive reactance by inserting an equal value of a capacitor in series. The impedance is close enough.

I'm going to build a T antenna for 160 in a few weeks.

I need a capacitor to tune out z = 41.2 + j139.

For the educational experience, how do I calculate a cap for the above equation? I'm going to try and track down a variable cap for the above so I can build the antenna over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanks
