TopBand: Some VSWR tests

[W8JITom@aol.com]

This is not intended to inflame anyone,
but a look through Walt Maxwell's Relections or other transmission line
textbooks might be helpful. This is really too much to explain on a
reflector.

Bill (whoever you are) E-mail me with your system description.

It's a bad idea to modify any PA without understanding what is going 
on in the system. The components INSIDE the PA are under great stress
because the loading capacitor carries circulating current (VAR power) from
the tank. I strongly advise the tank be left as is until the problem is
understood. Advice may be free, but parts are expensive.

I apologize for the earlier pubic display. My intention was to ultimately
reduce the number of insults posted...not cause generation of more.
