it is with very "Fond Memories", that I am happy that I learned about
Maritime Mobile Antenna Systems, in the School of Hard Knocks, by
tuning the N555 Antenna Tuners, on various hull materials, vessel sizes,
RF Ground Systems, and Antenna Designs. Just how many ways, is it
possible to tune an N555 to be a almost Perfect Dummy Load, at some
Marine Frequncy between 1.6 and 22 Mhz? I am not sure, but I must have
found most of them, in 35 years of practice.

Real Marine Radiomen always used Manual Tuners.....
