Got one or two variable capacitors? Some wire? And a rotary switch?
Congratulations, you have all the parts needed to build an antenna coupler.
Why not build one this weekend?
There's many designs around. L-matches. T-matches. Pi-networks. Z-matches. Unbalanced. Balanced. And they can range from small QRP units to large couplers suitable for the legal limit.
For some ideas, head over to Antenna couplers galore on my website.
PS: Want some portable antennas to go with the couplers you build? There's ideas in the top-selling Hand-carried QRP antennas.
