[Elecraft] 43 Ft Vertical and Elecraft Tuners

[Jim Brown]

43 ft verticals have become a popular antenna, and while they have some 
strong points, they present a very high SWR on most bands, so they 
require a serious tuner to get them to load.

I'd like to know of any stations using a 43 Ft vertical as a multi-band 
antenna using nothing but an Elecraft antenna tuner for matching -- that 
is, no "baluns", transformers, loading coils, or additional matching 
networks.  I'd like to know the bands on which you are able to match it 
well enough to get full power from the rig (or the power amp). I'd like 
to know if the tuner is located at the base of the antenna, or, if in 
the shack, the length of feedline between antenna and tuner.

Thanks and 73, Jim K9YC
