[Elecraft] New list member/T1 tuner questions

[qrp_1 at juno.com]

While I currently do not own the Elecraft T1 tuner, I do use a long wire 
antenna with my radio.  The HF antenna is hung as an inverted Vee with
both sides cut 
for the 40 meter band.  [[snip]]

Jim, 
  I do not understand this statement.  How can a "long wire antenna" have
2 sides ?  A long wire is fed from one end only, so are you speaking of
an endfed wire with an equal length counterpoise laying on the ground or
are you speaking of a doublet antenna fed in the center with a feedline ?
 I do have manual tuners but want something much simpler like and end fed
wire with an auto tuner for quick band changes in the field - don't want
to pack something the size of a MFJ-941 tuner into the woods !
