[TowerTalk] Coax Matching Stubs W/Smith Chart

[Paul Christensen]

Dave,

Another good tool is TLD since it performs most of the same TLW functions, 
but also shows a Smith Chart representation.   By changing load values and 
line length -- and seeing both numeric and Smith results, it's a really 
great learning tool.   For most computations, I use TLD.  When I want to 
design an L, Pi, or T network, then TLW has an advantage.

Paul, W9AC
