[TowerTalk] 67' vertical

[Greg - AB7R]

Talking about matching units.... I found this tuner from a company called 
Consolidated Electronics out of NJ.  Its pretty old but in mint condition on the 
inside.  It's a big wx proof box containing a very large heavy duty coil designe 
for balanced output.  Has heavy duty waffer switches setup to select different 
values from the available doorknob capacitors and can be remotely selected using a 
ledex motor and control cable.  Supposed to handle a KW AM and designed to cover 3-
15 MHz using a 90ft dipole fed with ladderline to the tuner.
