But when I modeled it on EZNEC, I get about 400 ohms at that point. Yes, it is mostly resistive, but it is around 400 ohms. Hence, I don't need a tuner or matching system other than just an impedance transformation that I can simply do with 1/4 wave of about 140 ohm line.
So to get 140 ohm line, I am trying to remember the trick o using two lengths of 70 ohm line... but dont remember what to do with the shields.
