I don't want to inflame anyone either, but I respectfully disagree! This
discussion (after the flame wars subsided) is most refreshing after the
myriad "bad ops" and other posts.
For my $0.02, I would think that if you state that the VSWR is 2:1 at
RESONANCE, doesn't it imply (in a 50 ohm system) either 25 or 100 ohms
RESISTIVE? Of course, no one said that lowest SWR is at the resonant point,
right?
Now I will be quiet and enjoy the discussion. This is what the list is
meant for!
