[Elecraft] Testing Elecraft T1 auto tuner with 10-ft. whip

[ron]

Very good on the report and I for one appreciate the work and effort into
it.

My one question is, "are you able to tell if the RF output was "reduced" to
satisfy the low SWR or did the RF output remain same?" 
There are situations where the tuner matches but the radio outputs at
reduced power because the antenna is less than optimum.

The results using an Elecraft 4:1 balun were very
good. For every band (looking at both the high and low
ends of the broad bands) from 50 MHz down through 7
MHz (excluding 60m where I can't broadcast) the SWR
was 1:1. On the high end of the 3 MHz band the SWR was
between 1:1 and 1:2. I couldn't obtain a decent SWR on
the low end of the 3 MHz band. I couldn't load on
160m.

 Without using a balun, I again obtained 1:1 SWRs from
50 MHz down through 14 MHz. On 10 MHz I found an SWR
between 1:1 and 1:2. I couldn't load on the bands
below 10 MHz.

Looks like that 10-ft. vertical and the 13-ft. drag
line work very well with the T1 and the balun.
