Here's a handy device that will increase your enjoyment of amateur radio while protecting your HF transceiver from excessive SWR.  SWR protection is particularly important with end-fed half wavelength wire antennas and random length wires used during portable and emergency operations.

Kevin Loughin (KIB9RLW) shows us how to design, build, and use a simple, inexpensive L network antenna transmatch (i.e. "tuner") that will enable you to use a variety of random length wire antennas without worrying about excessive SWR or RF feedback in the shack.  The video is well-produced and explains in simple terms how to build this valuable accessory to your ham shack.
