One day an "old-timer" touched a small neon? bulb to one balanced line
output post of my MFJ948 tuner and then touched to the other output post.
There was a difference in brightness. Is this a useful method to test for
balance. Is there another test (short of RF ammeters)? My antenna
connected was a long-wire
500' vee sloping from 90' at apex to about 30' at the end of one wire and
20' for the other wire.. Midway each wire passed over trees which were of
different heights. What method can one use to bring the antenna and feed
line into balance--with a standard(?) tuner?
