[TowerTalk] Reactance at end of feedline

Us history majors sometimes need to ask elementary questions, so please 
be kind.

Yesterday I was refurbishing my 80M lazy-vee dipole array, measuring the 
center frequencies to adjust as needed.  On my MFJ259B, the reactance at 
the end of the 88-foot feedlines reached a minimum of only about 45 ohms 
before starting back up.  Does this value reflect the inductive 
reactance of the feedline?
