[Elecraft] High power tuner

[Van W1WCG]

No-tune antennas such as the B&W all-band no-tune folded dipole 
generally waste half the power
fed them in the termination resistor.  However, you can get a good 
all-band high-power
memory tuner for much, much less than what I would imagine that Alpha 
tuner will cost,
and feed an all-band antenna like a G5RV with good results.
