Interesting. Thanks for the link. Will read that.

When we did the antenna matching on the course, we used a little 2m dipole with a pocket VNA to get the lowest SWR. Neat but felt a bit cheaty to me and seemed to require a laptop. Can’t imagine myself in the garden with a laptop or running in and out every two seconds to check it after trimming.
