MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE AT THE HIGHER FREQUENCIES.  THE COMPLEX IMPEDANCE OF
THE FINAL DESIGN IS RESISTIVE AT 52, SLIGHTLY INDUCTIVE UP TO 166 MHZ, AND
SLIGHTLY CAPACITIVE UP TO 401 MHZ, WHEN IT BECOMES INDUCTIVE AGAIN.  THE
RESISTANCE AT 401 MHZ DROPPED TO 29, AND AT 144 MHZ, THE IMPEDANCE IS 52
WITH NO REACTANCE.  THE DUMMY LOADS SWR IS GRAPHED IN FIGURE 2.  TO SEE THE
SMITH CHART FEATURING THE FINAL COMPLEX IMPEDANCE, A GRAPH OF THE
DECREASING RESISTANCE VERSUS FREQUENCY, AND TIPS ON HOW TO ACHIEVE THE SWR
