[TenTec] 160 M antenna

[chacuff at cableone.net]

I’m sure that is possible but the result might be that you end up with the efficiency of a dummy load hanging in a tree.  The rig would be happy though...

 

There are no silver bullets to turn a poorly matched wire antenna system into a high performance efficient radiator of RF on 160/80 M....except lots of work with L and C of the radiator and counterpoise and then connection of that back to the radio with a decent pipe (transmission line)

Ten-Tec like other tuners have a hard time tuning 160M.  Any information on
this subject is very helpful.  I wish some one would sell a tuner that will
tune 45 foot to 300 feet of a single wire antenna without doing something
external to the antenna.
