[TenTec] CW-Only Rig?

[SEWATKINS@dgs.state.va.us (Sherrill WATKINS)]

Avlia:   With a properly designed antenna tuner and low loss line you can 
operate your antenna on the lower CW end of 80 meters with no problem and very 
high efficency.  The antenna itself does NOT have to be resonate for it to 
radiate with high efficiency.  One only needs to resonate the SYSTEM which 
includes the antenna and transmission line and any tuning devise.  One can 
locate the tuning devise at the rig for convenience.  This assumes low loss 
transmission line is used.  (A high swr on the transmission line does NOT mean 
the antenna itself is not radiating all the power delivered.)  So, build 
yourself an antenna tuner or simple matching devise and enjoy tremendous 
bandwidth and additional qso's. - Corn- k4own
