Hi Eric,
Another question about matching. Would it be correct to say the part of the energy circulating in the matching network is not radiating out the antenna? Is this why people say 'you can match to a rock but that doesn't make it a good antenna'? This would be like connecting where your antenna would be to ground (or leaving it open) and making the matching network resonate at you desired frequency of operation? This would imply that the closer your antenna is to resonance before matching the better antenna you will have because more of the power is being radiated and less is being lost in the matching network? Match implies no power reflected back into the transmitter right? Just trying to wrap my head around this stuff from a seat of the pant point of view.
Thanks
Bryan
