[Towertalk] Tuners for long wire and loops

[Chris BONDE]

I remember an article on tunners from awhile back.  The authour started out 
by saying that the tunner needed to be flexible when trying new 
antennas.  He used 2 inductors and 2 capacitors.  Wired them up so that he 
jumber them anyway he wanted to.  Brought in balance feed line went out to 
rig on coax, but provisions were for any in or out.  I think that he had an 
extra element there in to make connections between the balance and 
unbalance.  I have been looking for that artilce as I thought that some of 
the ideas where good.  Such as, you donot net to cover it in metal, so 
leave the cover off for quick adjustments.
