[TenTec] Ten Tec 229 Tuner on 160M

[Paul Gates, KD3JF]

I have a 247 tuner and on one of the bands it does not have enough capacitance. I am not sure if I changed the inductance that it would help or not. I am using it with the Delta.

Couldn't tune my 80 meter doublet on 160 until I added external 
capacitors to the back.  Had to add .003uf to get it to tune.  Got it 
going this afternoon.

Using my Omni VI (option 3) Plus, my first 160M QSO was ON4UN.  Got him 
through the pile on second call.

Elecraft ain't the only one with mojo.
