[TowerTalk] Trimming 75-ohm hardline

[Pete Smith]

Sorry to the assembled ... I misread the Autek graphic, and misremembered
what I had done previously myself with that unit.  The case with the far
end open produces Z minima at 1/4, 3/4, 5/4 etc. wavelengths of cable.
When the far end is shorted the minima occur at 1/2, 1, 1.5 etc.
wavelengths.  The intervals are the same, but the minima mean different
things.  For Steve's purposes, the Z-minima method will only work with the
cable shorted.

Loud is good.
