[Elecraft] KX1 Antenna Issues

[Pierre Desjardins]

**Correction on earlier posting..

...Lets say for instance that the load consists of a resistive part of 30
ohms and a capacitive reactance of 40 ohms, or any right triangle
combination giving the 50 ohms impedance matching (the case of an improperly
tuned vertical... or a wire near the ground or the extreme case of a dummy
load).
In each case, you will get a standing wave ratio of 1:1. So, that SWR
reading of 1:1 often leads to false conclusions. By using a field strength
meter you could find answers to your question.

a single radial)
