Here's another expertly done video tutorial from Ray of the UK-based "Radio Workshop."  In this video, Ray show us how to build a simple, inexpensive L-match ATU (Antenna Tuning Unit) for the HF shortwave and Amateur Radio bands.  The ATU can be used with end fed "aerials", including inverted L antennas.  A definite must have accessory for radio amateurs using random length or inverted L antennas.  Don't forget to connect your antenna system to a good radial or counterpoise system.
