When I thought about this suggestion again,  I realised that it would match
the antenna OK, but of course it would not help to resonate it.
I tried feeding a wire straight up the side of the 240 ft tower here with 
matching at the bottom of the wire and coming back down the tower from the 
top.  It did not work and I could not find any way to resonate it with the 
coil.  It seemed to be below the resonance point even though the total 
length was only 500 ft.
