[ARC5] Ant. Tuning Series Caps - Trials and Surprises

[AKLDGUY .]

Interesting, because I have a problem with only a small back yard and
haven't yet
come up with a good antenna configuration. Not sure what you meant by
drawing
attention to the difference, but I suspect "garden" is the British
expression. We use
back yard here, and there are many many differences between Brit and New
Zealand
English. See:
