[VHFcontesting] impedance transformer

[Paul N1BUG]

Dave,

Thanks for reminding me about that limitation. I have only used this 
trick at VHF/UHF where I was concerned about a very narrow band of 
frequencies. I must remember to do some SWR sweeps for comparison 
one of these days, as I would like to see the affect on bandwidth.
