[TowerTalk] Was "43ft Vertical Feeding

[Pete Smith]

What am I missing here.  You need to cover 8 bands - surely a set of 
switched L networks, including several for band segments on 160, 80 and 40, 
could be built for much less than any automatic tuner capable of handling 
the power.  You're not looking for continuous coverage 1.8-30 MHz, after all.
