[TenTec] Lowest loss matching an antenna for my Argonaut 509

[Bill Ames]

Well, that is a good question. I do have one of those MFJ meters and I will
measure it at the feedpoint. However I think the antenna resonates around
2.8 Mhz. I think I will have to adjust some lengths and heights. It has been
up for ten years or so and feeding it with a 100 W it worked just fine. But
using it QRP I need to get it just right. If I had just a, say, 150 ohm Z
(no reactive components), could I just use a torrid transformer to match the
rigs 50ohm output?

If I read every thing and understood what I have read and what Gerald just
stated,  it would be a CURRENT BALUN.

What is your impedance at the feed point at the antenna?
