[Elecraft] EFHW

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

True, but that wasn't the point (and I think you understood that).

A wire that is approximately 67 feet long will be resonant on 20 
meters.  The impedance at the ends will be very high.

A wire that is approximately 80 feet will not be resonant on 20 meters, 
but an Elecraft tuner will be able to tune it pretty well.

My objection is calling any non-resonant length, fed from the end an 
EFHW (End-Fed Half-Wave), just because it kinda looks like one.
