[TenTec] Re: Rudimentary SWR question...

[Stuart Rohre]

My post was comparing a BARE 8 foot whip without loading issues to shortened
doublets and half wave dipoles.   I even stated that other losses are in the
system when you use the tuner and transmission line.   It is well known that
placement of lossy loading inductors in a whip system at differing points
changes the amount of inductance and hence loss.  See ARRL Handbook mobile
chapter and Antenna Book.
