I am curious as to the purpose of your post waverider. Bob85 posted a hypothetical question for reason's I don't know and there was a discussion about it, end of story.

What is wrong with a discussion about antennas and how they work? Sure, some people are interested in the easy route you suggest, but some of us want to know more.

Also, just because the antenna presents the settings of X=0 and R=50 does not necessarily mean the antenna (or antenna system if you would like) will work well, case in point, the dummy load. Oh wait you said something about this:

It takes more than a happy transmitter to get a signal out, and get it out well, or we would all be using dummy loads for antennas. Luckily antennas are forgiving, but that has a drawback as well, sometimes we don't know how much better our antenna can be than it is. That is where discussions like this come in.

[QUOTE="The DB, post: 434380, member: 21346"] I am curious as to the purpose of your post waverider.
