require an antenna tuner. Why anyone who  understands antennas would want to
do that 50-60 years after coaxial cable  became common place is beyond my

Hi  Rog,

I must say that I envy you.  Assuming that you run multiple  bands, you are 
indeed fortunate to have the space and supports for  resonant antennas, fed 
with 
coax, on all  bands.

I use a gap voyager on 160 / 80/ 40 and a 3 ele steppir on 6 to 20 meters  
and have pretty much resonant antennas on all bands with the two, also have a  
30/40 80 160 sloper and a few others but the gap and steppir give resonant or  
near resonant antenna  every where but 160 which is good from 1.850 to  1.920, 
 and the wire goes from 1.880 to almost 1.980.. enough for me.
 
I live on a fairly standard sized city lot and  it ain't great, but it  ain't 
bad..
