[Elecraft] EFHW

Just a reminder, folks.

An End-Fed Half-Wave is a 1/2 wave antenna on the frequency of operation.

If it's not a half-wave, then it's a non-resonant wire.

Elecraft tuners do a great job tuning non-resonant wires.

They won't tune an End-Fed Half-Wave without some help, like a 9:1 un-un.

So, when someone says "EFHW" and then says "I just use an adapter and 
binding posts" we know it isn't an EFHW.

Terminology matters.
