Notes distributed to towertalk supplementing Dave Leeson's notes on using
multiples of 1/2 wl 50-ohm coax followed by a 75-ohm matching section to
provide wider-band performance on lower HF dipoles and Vees are now at the
site.  I have provided some notes on what is happening for those
unfamiliar with Smith charts.  Also, in answer to requests, I have added
some graphs--I am 1/2 hour short--local time--of calling them pictures at
11.  Hope the notes and graphs clarify what to expect from the technique.
The notes are listed in the Transmission Line. . . section on the index
page.
