[Milsurplus] grc109 into coax fed 1/4 wave 40m vertical

[hwhall@aol.com]

Per the manual, the antenna is supposed to be an end-fed inverted-L of 100ft total length.  100ft is just 30.48 meters.  About 3/4 wavelength on 40m band.  That should present a fairly high impedance compared to a properly tuned 1/4 vertical with groundplane.  Perhaps the tuneup procedure in the manual is incorrect for that kind of antenna?
