> I used one for many years with 450 ohm ladder, mine was 2 x 65 ' and I wound a coil on each end on 3" PVC. this coil was wide space with 6mm2 electrical wire or 3mm wire for wounding coils. I think I had something like total length of 135' .on one version, but I also tried one with wires hanging down after the coils one both ends.

> To avoid tuner I used a T400-2 amidon as 9:1 to get a nice match on most bands, but I had to tune in lower upper part of 80m/75m.

> It had awesome gain and I remember it was a killer even with low power.

> I recommend a Viking tuner or maybe a good 3KW tuner to handle the power.
> The orginal MFJ tuner worked for a while,but I changed the rolling coil with one QRO from RF Parts.
