Those are fairly common for multi TX stations to knock down harmonics and
phase noise. I use stubs on the feedlines of all the monoband yagis and
typical rejection is 25+ dB using CATV RG-11. On 80M I add a short length
for CW. I often run 2 stations and at othertimes it keeps area hams happy
since with a negative horizon my groundwave signal travels a long way.
And no, I havent used them for amplifier tuning except for an old 6&2M PP
4CX250B amp I built ages ago.
