? ... an end-fed [against gnd] dipole. The tuner is on the window sill.
The wire goes out the louvered glass window and up at an angle. There is
much V and little I at the window. I use an air-wound coax choke balun
at the input to the tuner. The tuner ground should Not be connected to
the radio or the amplifier since the I in the gnd for the tuner is = to
the I going into the antenna.
>> I'm investigating various wires for 40m, to put up during the sunny summer,
>> for use next sunny winter...
>>
? For a long life setup, use braided phosphor-bronze antenna wire.
