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 :-)
