[Elecraft] Fascination of the KAT2

[Tom]

Hi gang,

I've been pretty pleased with the tuner also.  Can someone tell me if I
should be using a balun if I'm just throwing a wire (#26 hookup) into a tree
and running a counterpoise off of the ground lug.  If so what type.

I can run some zip-speaker wire around a fairly large toroid that I have in
the junk box, if that will do the trick.

Thanks
