[TowerTalk] The simple Gamma Match?

[VR2BrettGraham]

K6-somebody (sorry, deleted yesterday's digest - K6IF?) was
asking about building gamma matches.

Strip sheath & shield off length of RG-8 & shove into gamma
tube.  Start with length bit longer than what is expected to be
needed (20-odd pF per foot?) & trim from there.  Treat end
inside of tube accordingly, as well as weatherproofing both
ends of gamma rod.  Tube ID should be pretty close to center
conductor insulator OD.
