All these years, I've been believing people like Tom, Carl and Ian and even 
myself that the SWR on  a tranismission line, is, other than the change caused 
by losses, independent of length. Now I read in the QRP column of the October 
CQ that you should trim your transmission line length for minimum SWR. 
Now, if it's in CQ, it must be right, OK?
The same edition has a one tube CW rig with no mention of the fact that a Tri 
tet oscillator having the cathode tuned to thw crystal frequency when the plate 
 is so tuned is a notorious production of a 'rock crusher' signal - the 
crystals  don't last too long.
Now, if it's in CQ, it must be right, OK?
But people like Tom and Carl and even Rich Measures never said so!!
OK, so sarcasm is the lowest form of wit....
