Re: [TenTec] Antenna follow up- asked for help in January- need more help.....

Yes, thanks to Gerald for adding the missing "voltage point" along the 
line.  If you review the texts, they usually show the variation of 
cycles of voltage along a transmission line.  You don't want your tuner 
capacitor to be force to deal with the peak of voltage at a point of the 
line where it connects.  You extend the line with added length, and you 
end up with the tuner at a different voltage point.  (Or subtract some 
feedline, but most folks run just the length to fit the distance to the 
antenna and that is not practical.)
