Topband: Beverage Transformer Correction

In my post on Beverage antennas there was an error on the transformer
info I provided.

Double all the winding values to correct it, i.e., instead of 12 turns,
make it 24 turns.  The tap for 50-ohm coax is at 8 turns instead of 4 and
the 75-ohm tap is at 10 turns instead of 5.  This data assumes that the
Beverage is a 450-ohm antenna.

Sorry for the mistake.  My notes serve me better than my memory.
