Hi All

In light of the horrible QRM in last weekends 160 test I got to
thinking about a beverage again.  I had one here before but
didn't use any un-un's or anything like that to feed it.  I just
used a small antenna tuner I made, fed a bit of RF into the
beverage and tuned it for 1:1.  What would the difference be
between using a matching transformer or just building a small
tuner to tune the beverage.  Why do we have to build something as
complicated as a matching transformer instead of a tuner?  73
