Topband: beverage feed

[mike l dormann]

i am planning to put up a reasonable (1000 foot or so) dx location
beverage this CQWW, and being one who  does not like/have/understand
toroids, would a simple link coupled LC tank type antenna tuner work in
place of the toriod? you are just taking a 400 ohm antenna and
transforming it to 50 ohms.

so what is the difference in the antenna tuner needed for a single wire
off center fed dipole or a beverage?

thanks
