Many thanks to all the replies about the antenna question. It was a good
day. Got the amplifier running, about 700 watts output. The antenna was a
breeze thanks to all the good advice.
I fooled around a bit with a broadcast/fm radio variable capacitor and the
analyzer. I had a 500 pf 25 kv capacitor left over from the amp. Put it
in series, and, like magic the antenna was resonant.
Again many thanks for all the help. Hope to hear you all on the band soon.
