Seems to me that since an antenna is considered inductive or capacitive, when it is physically away from a resonant frequency length, then adding inductance or capacitance at the base, middle or top

You don't want a resonant antenna. You want one that presents a 50 ohm non reactive load to the feed line if that's what the feed line is. Otherwise you use a matching network. Right? Sent from my iP

They adjust the resonance of the >system<, and therefore are indeed "tuners". It's all the same thing, except of course for the feedline effects of SWR. That being said, I have never understood why s

I believe you will find that "Match Box" is a trade name. When I adjust the capacitance and inductance of my "antenna tuner" my antenna does not change length or height, and the length of the feedlin

With all due respect, that's not a particularly valid distinction. For example, I can have a non-resonant antenna fed by 100 feet of coax (call it Coax A) that presents a reactive load to my transmit

Further to your point Dave: It is easier to see if we consider a 1/2 wave length of coax for the feed line. If one were to have a 1/2 wave length of coax between the antenna and the tuner, then anyth

Not quite. A dummy load presents a 50-ohm non-reactive load. A resonant quarter-wave monopole over a decent ground might have an impedance of about 12 ohms. You can probably play with the length of t

A lossless quarter-wave monopole has an radiation resistance of 35 ohms. To that all losses will be added and the result is the feed point impedance. That will never have an impedance of 12 ohms but

May not have been the best example, but the point is that depending on the antenna, resonance and 50 ohms do not always coincide and that some form of matching is required. The lower impedances may h
