Topband: 160m Vertical matching Help

[Wes Stewart]

Well, yes, the transmitter is looking into the transmission line and then the 
antenna load, so they are different.  To be fair you need to place the analyzer 
at the input (TX) end of the line.  Now the TX and the analyzer see the same 
thing.  But this isn't a good way to match the antenna to the line, which I 
believe is the object of this exercise.
