*** A tuner in the rig should work fine...if the coax run is short in
terms of wavelengths.

    My home 6BTV antenna OTOH has a 230 foot feedline.   I did NOT want
to run a high SWR on that coax.  So I installed an MFJ kilowatt 
autotuner
at the base of the antenna.  Works pretty well, although I could wish 
for
more control over it.  From the shack, all I can do is cycle power on
the tuner via the injection tap.  And hope it does better on a second 
try.

   If I want to really get the tuner's attention, I have to trudge up the 
hill
with tools, take the cover off and perform a factory defaults reset.
