Hi Elecrafters,

For field operations with a KX/40.30.20m, I currently use a 28 feet random
wire at the end of a 22 feet pole, and an single 16 feet radial on ground.
The computed impedance is 89 - j 341 ohms  at 7 MHz,  matched by the
KXAT1.

However, at the low end of 80 m, it should be around 54 - j 1316 ohms, 
giving very high SWR. Can the ATU match such values?

    KX1 s/n 442
    K2/100 s/n 5170
