[Elecraft] high-power tuner

[Bob K6UJ]

QST had an article a while back comparing tuners, MFJ, Palomar, Drake and several others if I remember correctly.
They had a chart showing the loss per band per each tuner.  
They included the old Johnson Viking matchbox in their ranking too.  The old Johnson was right up there
in the top rankings, with very low loss.  I wish I still had my old Johnson, sigh...............
Anyway a search on the ARRL webpage for QST articles about tuners should show the article.
