I built it to use just that way. I find it a good way to get a feel for the problems...like "What happens if.....?" You are quite often stuck with one value either a prefeed one of the capacity of an antenna that you can't do much about. I am also allergic to continually re-entering values to a utility. To get the best use out of the reactance box you have to remember that the inductive and capacitive reactances are equal at resonance. I hope the version of Jim's lop design works well for you Best Wishes de Alan G3NYK ----- Original Message ----- From: J. B.
