1. Dummy load (50 ohm)
2. T-Connector
3. Short piece of coax between T & dummy
Plug in your 1/4 wave piece in one side of the T and the dummy load in the
other. The MFJ in the middle. Short end and tune for minimum SWR at
operating frequency. Generally I leave it open and tune for frequency X 2
which generally makes it easier to tell the center frequency.
