This is a test message and a question. If the message gets through, that
part works fine. Now for the question: My current QTH is a city lot that
has several large oak trees in the back yard. The trees have been there
over 30 or 40 years and I will not be able to do much more than trim a very
few limbs that get too close to other structures. My HF antenna at present
is an inverted V configuration hung from one of the trees at about 40 feet
off the ground (also the yard is not level, there are several slopes) and
the end points tied to another tree on one side of the yard and a fence on
the other side. The antenna was cut for 40 meters. The feed line is an
unknown length of 300 ohm television twin lead coming into the attic then
through a closet to the radio. My current radio (not an Elecraft) has an
MFJ-941B tuner between the antenna connection and the actual feed line.
Would the K2 with an internal ATU be able to work with this antenna/feed
line combination?
Thank you,
Jim KD5VXH
