[TenTec] balanced antenna tuner ( or how to do things on the cheap - tribute to Geoff's drive for cost effect

[STEVEN KLINE]

DC - Good grief OM, you got my attention for a few minutes.  By the time
you get this message at least several, if not a multitude, will have
told you how to end your subscription to the reflector, I suspect.  YOU
have to personally take the initiative and terminate it YOURSELF.  It
takes no more time or technical difficulty to un-subscribe as it did to
subscribe, or maybe you are looking for someone to do it for you - WON'T
HAPPEN.  No-one else can do it for you.  In case you still can't locate
the url to un-subscribe (located at the bottom of each reflector
message), I pasted it after these comments, as it looks like it was
snipped off of ALL the ones you forwarded.

Please do something, so those of us who enjoy the knowledge and
communication on the reflector don't have to clean up all of this
garbage.
READ! READ! READ! PLEASE?  You went to an awful lot of extra work to
forward all of your messages hoping to catch Mr. Casto's attention and
could have completed the un-subscribe yourself in significantly less
time.

Mr Castro seems determined that I continue to get the Ten Tec reflector
even 
though I have continually requested it be stopped.  Does anyone have any

suggestions to "UNSUBSCRIBE" ?  I get way to many messages to read even 
though they should be batched.

Geoff

In your drive for equipment on the cheap I like to draw your attention
to 
the S-Match as promoted by PA0FRI: 
http://www.xs4all.nl/~pa0fri/ATU/Smatch/smatcheng.htm

It uses only three components, tunes very easily and can handle both 
balanced as unbalanced antennas. Unfortunately you may have to build a 
different version for 160m than for 10m because minimum capacitance
values 
do have an impact.

It should be the ideal beginner's project, in particular if I see prices

asked for "commercial" antenna tuners and which often contribute a 
considerable expense towards establishing a station.

By the way - even with the older tentec gear like the Omni-C one does
not 
need a SWR meter since that is already built in to the rig. (And 
"standalone" SWR meter's  prices are through the roof for such a simple 
piece of equipment)

Enjoy, 73, Marinus, ZL2ML
