Topband: Hairpin Matching Coil Questions

[Clive GM3POI]

Jim,
	 That is not how the hairpin should work. You should resonate your
antenna at say 1.900mhz then add the hairpin across the feedpoint to bring
it to resonance at your operating frequency say 1.830. The hairpin being
adjusted for 1:1. Not tap needed. 73 Clive GM3POI

I am sorry, I left this out, the Hairpin is inserted between the inverted L
and ground / ground radials. coils were tapped for best match, in my case
about 27 ohms is the best I can do.
