Ahoy Scott:

PC board stock used for antenna matching capacitors was a highlight of a =
QST acticle by Lew McCoy.  He used the scheme to match 50 ohm coax to a =
160M inverted "L" antenna.  I thought I had noted the QST issue but =
can't scare it up.  It was several years ago.  I think I remember that =
the value he was striving for was about 500mmfd and one PC board was =
slid along wires that provided a guide and a fastening method.
