Hi Barry,
  March ''79 Ham Radio, page 48.   Note that there are a couple of
printing goofs in the schematic -- the two caps in the top row with
values past the decimal point should be marked nF (nanofarads).

  An interesting idea... considered using it myself once upon a time
but... it has some drawbacks.
  
  It uses just about as many coils as a classic switched network and they
are somewhat larger in value.
  There is no harmonic suppression.
  There is no easy way to adjust it in case your math comes out wrong and
you need to change the impedance match.

73 & Good evening,
  Marv  WC6W
