**********
Ron: You appear to have reversed the effect (with frequency) on the
capacitive reactance. Using the effective capacitance as determined by your
previously defined 1/4-wavelength circle, as frequency goes down, the radius
of the circle goes up linearly and the effective capacitance goes up as the
SQUARE of the radius. Xc, which is proportional to the reciprocal of the
product of frequency and capacitance, will be LOWER (not higher) as frequency
decreases. Hence, the reverse of what is stated in the quoted paragraph
applies.
