i noticed that bootys questions are getting more knowledgable since back when he was lectured by mr suburban for not already knowing what he was asking about. cool to see someone else learning too

something just occured to me henry. i could use 75ohm all the way down from the home made 100+ ohmn quad as long as it was cut to odd electrical multipels of a 1/4 wavelength and i should get close to 1:1swr right?

if someone had a antena that was 1.5 swr and 75 ohms because it was out of tune and they used 50 ohm coax cut to odd electrical 1/4 wave multipel then they would still have a 1.5 swr but instead of 75 ohms it would be about 33 ohms now because the 50 ohm would transform it. right?
