I've been tinkering around with an inductor, and a variable capacitor, and my dipole rejoined end-to-end for a 1/2 wave monopole fed from one end.
I tried this coil/capacitor parallel coupling first and could get no where near where I wanted for a match, etc:
Then I made this up:
and paired it up with the capacitor:
I was able to get very close to what I was looking for with a 1.1 SWR R60 X0 @ 27.567
27.400 was a 1.3 SWR and I neither wrote down nor photographed the MFJ readings so will have to do it again.
