I have several 160 and 75 meter antennas. I'd like to be able to cover
most og these bands with the least involvement from the shack after the
initial set-up.
I run QRO, so matching low impedance antennas like a half sloper can be
problematic. Yet I'd like to lower the SWR at the feed point so a solid
state amp would be happy and have the ability to switch to the band or
rapidly QSY.
Most of the remote tuners I've looked at come up a bit shu with QRO let
alonr with a high SWR when covering a large portion of the band.
74 is a center fed, half wave, sloping fan dipole
I have the option of an auto tuner, or switched capacitance at the feed
point.
I'd prefer the auto tuner approach, but is there such an animal that
will cover 160 reliably on QRO?
