Yes, let's do. That starts with studying and understanding the 
fundamentals of transmission lines and antennas, understanding that 
every design problem is different, and that one size does not fit all. 
As I observed in yesterday's post, low dipoles are generally a closer 
match to 50 ohm coax, and high dipoles to 75 ohm coax.

##  I will try and attempt to test that high/low dipole theory out, next summer
with my 80m rotary dipole on its  motorized tower.  40 feet retracted, and 103’
extended.
