The CB BS idea about 1/2 wave tuned feed lines showing a mirror image of what the impedance is at the other end of the line...is erroneously based on what may be good feed line theory. As meaningless as a tuned 1/2 wavelength line is to the process and success of tuning an antenna with an unknown load and resonance, you guys can't even agree on what a 1/2 wavelength long line is to start.

We're just lucky that Mother Nature doesn't require us to have everything perfect in order to work our radios.

BTW, this thread has gone all over the map trying to explain a solution to a problem and misdirection by the author.
