[Elecraft] K3 antenna tuner.

[Steve Ellington]

You almost have the ZS6BKW antenna. 45' on each side, 40' of 450 ohm window 
line and a 1:1 balun would make the best match. Don't even think about using 
a 4:1 balun!

There are still a few bands that might be a problem with the auto tuner in 
the K3. I've found this to be a good general purpose antenna.
