[TenTec] Johnson Viking Matchbox vs. Annecke

[tongaloa at alltel.net]

Another trick for tuning Johnson MB (unmodified) requires a 50 Ohm pad that can be switched between the MB, rig, and dummy load.

1)Tune into 50 Ohm dummy load. This step not required with broadband rig, but I still use a lot of tube gear.
2)Insert pad and tune Matchbox for best received signal strength
3)switch pad out and you're ready to go.

If you have a meter in line you might tweak the MB just a hair for max forward, but here, it's usually right on.
