I haven't used a single antenna since 1960 (got license in 1955). do you
know the mess you get into with send recieve switches,  change over
relays or knife switches? 

It is hard enough to run the 833 with its own antenna tuner, and a
separate antenna tuner for the beverage feeding the NC183. 

All antenna tuners here at the Premiere Pacific Northwest 160 meter
Contest SUPERSTATION are single tanks, with link coupled outputs with a
tap for a single wire feedline
