[BC] 50 Ohm Load...

While we are throwing threads to [TZ], this one belongs
with the other one, so Barry, if you would, close them
out on [BC] and we will see if we can explore them in
depth on the [TZ] list.

BTW, guessing at the tuning and trying to fall into it
is a very good way to create one of those "we don't
have time to do it right, but we will find time to
do it over, and over, and over" loops that disregard
of fundamentals generally brings. This unfortunate
because understanding network setup and doing it right
is not that hard.
