Richard -

  I don't know if you saw the thread;  not too far back I had mentioned it 
would be a bit easier for me to get my brain wrapped around the idea of 
what's happening when
coax is "electrically longer when it is physically" - by literally drawing a 
picture or two of it....

  I was wondering about some more or less real world scenarios , what's 
happening when it's right, when it's wrong, with and end fed antenna vs 
center fed, and such.

  It all started 'cause they finally talked me into taking some of the ham 
tests, and right off quick I discover 'they' use
weird numbers.  (Like, 468/F(mHz) rather than 492/f(mHz) for wavelength, and 
such... )

  Have you ever drawn out stuff like this, or do you know where I might find 
this sort of thing?  I can look at tables of numbers all day, and even 
remember a few, but somehow stuff just "makes more sense" once I see it as a 
diagram, or picture...

Jason

   Have you ever drawn out such
