My Feedline Tunes My Antenna - Goodman

[matthew at mrstevens.net]

This article is a reprint of a 1956 article that appeared in the November 1991 QST. It might be old news to many of you, but it was very helpful to me when I was trying to troubleshoot some 'odd' problems with an antenna that I had put together. All the literature that I had read while working on the project seemed to tell me how to make the antenna, but not to much about why it worked. This is the one that finally made it 'click' for me...maybe you just have to find someone to explain things to you the right way.

I think it would be great to spread the word about any other articles or resources that any of you might have run across and found helpful. If you have anything that you'd like to share with the club, please let me know, email to KK4FEM(at)arrl.net. Since we are an ARRL affiliate club, we are able to put the full text of any QST articles (new or old) on our website, blog, yahoo group, etc., as long as it is properly attributed to the source.

Especially for newer hams (like me) I think this would be helpful towards the dual goals of the 
"Continuation and extension of the amateur's proven ability to contribute to the advancement of the radio art"
and "[Expanding] the existing reservoir within the amateur radio service of trained operators, technicians, and electronics experts." (Part 97.1)

Particularly the electronics experts part :-)

So, please, if anyone has any useful information that you have found, just send it to me at KK4FEM(at)arrl.net, and we will put it on the blog and in the "files" section on the yahoo group. That way we can all learn, and keep learning from our experiences.
