[TowerTalk] Question re. design example in Low Band DXing

[Stewart Rolfe]

This refers to the 2 element vertical array switching at Fig 11-45 in the 4th edition of LBD (Lewallen feed)

Using the software supplied with the book along with the data in Fig 11-14 (Zarray = 17.7+j17.1) I'm failing to confirm the 50ohm matching L network (L2, C2). It appears to tell me L2 should be in the shunt position with C2 in series to L1. The broadside position matching network L3/C3, does check out ok using similar data from the corresponding theoretical diagrams, as do other later examples of 3 and 4 element arrays where the matching network is included in the schematic.

So I'm wondering if this may be a mistake and have been unable to find any posted errata. I want to build this for 40m and some reassurance that I haven't missed something obvious would be good..!

Thanks and happy new year.
