Topband: Matching

[marco.spalluzzi@tecnotel.it (Marco)]

Hi guys, an horizontal dipole have a radiation resistance of about 73 ohm.
I heard someone that is matching it to a 50 ohm coax, by simply connecting a
piece of coax to the central points of the dipole, so in parallel to it.
It sounds strange to me.
How can you match a resistive load to another resistive load value by the
use of ONE reactive component only?
Bye, Marco.
