[Elecraft] OT: Remote antenna tuner

[Christian Friess]

On my holiday style operations I use a doublet with 300 Ohm twin lead cable.
The end of that 300 Ohm feeder is connected to a 4:1 BALUN
The BALUN is hooked direct to the K3S / K3
With the internal ATU I can use that antenna from 10 to 80 with 100 Watts

For details have a look to http://www.dl2mdu.de/antenna/
