Joe Ham has a brand new amplifier that he plans to use exclusively on
14.225 MHz.  His antenna is a beam that does not have the best match at
14.225 MHz.  Therefore, Joe being a careful guy, has decided to put a 50
Ohm isolator at the output of his amplifier.  Joe's coax is 50 Ohms and
for practical purposes we will assume his coax is lossless.  The length
of the coax is random and unknown.  His SWR meter is also 50 Ohms and has
zero line length.  The impedance in Ohms of Joe's antenna at 14.225 MHz
is 69.5+j36 Ohms.  This is measured INSIDE his shack at the input to his
coax. MORE IMPORTANTLY, JOE HAS A PET WOODCHUCK.

Questions:

1.) How much wood would Joe's woodchuck chuck if his woodchuck could 
chuck wood?

2.) If Joe's woodchuck chewed through the coax AFTER the ISOLATOR but 
BEFORE the SWR meter, how high would his fur stand up?

3.) If the woodchuck was wearing rubber boots while chucking the coax 
BEFORE the isolator...what effect would that have on parasitics?

3.) What pet should Joe Ham get after the tragic demise of his pet woodchuck?

Are you up to the challenge.....

GOOD LUCK


Best Regards,

Jerry
