Hope this is not off topic
If I add 50' to the existing feed ladder line on my wire antenna
Will it work? Or would that be a big NO NO

Jim,
It is definitely not a no no in general. However, adding 50 feet to the
existing ladder line will change the impedance that the antenna and feedline
combination present to the tuner. Whatever the impedance you have now on
each band, it will be different after you add the 50 feet. The impedance on
some bands might improve and on others it will get worse. But chances are
your tuner will still be able to handle the extreme bands.
