Topband: Hairpin Matching Coil Questions

[Mike Waters]

Hi Jim,

I'm glad to hear you (and others) liked our L-network inverted-L tuner
design.

All the info I have is posted in the Topband thread. I thought I had more
info and pictures, but I guess I'll have to take some new photos sometime.

I suppose if you made the elevated radials long, then you could adjust the
current balance with series variable capacitors. You could use a simple
clamp-on meter like W8JI has on his site to measure the relative current,
perhaps.I didn't bother with that myself, I was just careful to keep the
radial lengths the same length and height.

73, Mike
