[AMRadio] High-power tuners

[Larry Taft]

The Johnson Matchbox has its own area of usefulness.  There was a set of 
calculations and measurements made on several "feedline impedance 
transformation devices"  a while ago.  The article pointed out that is 
was possible to dissipate much of the energy in the transformation 
device which would result in interesting pyrotechnic displays.  The 
Matchbox had a foot in each camp, certain impedances were handled with 
great efficiency while others made for another winter shack heater  Now 
to find the article.
