Is it more ideal to have a higher capacitance on the transmitter side than on the antenna side 'in principal' when tuning an antenna? Secondly, is it better to have a higher or lower inductance? I understand the obvious answer: "whatever achieves the best SWR with the best forward"; however, this question came up in last night's discussion and it was centered on the electrical question rather than the empirical answer. My position was a higher capacitance on the radio side was better and a lower inductance was best.
I realize the answer is obvious: once one achieves the right SWR so maybe the question is irrelevant.
